I talked to MB just a bit ago. Nikata is doing really well. One leg is responding, the other not so much, but OK, we'll get there! The vet is no longer recommending Nikata going to a neurologist - doesn't feel it's necessary . She's got a catheter in which gave her a UTI (of course), but her poo control is good. MB thinks the urinary control will be fine when the UTI is done. She's looking into getting a cart for a temporary basis when Nikata first gets home. It is just so much more positive - she said the xrays show the damage between the 4th and 5th vertebrae; compressed disc.

Thank you all so much for the prayers and thoughts! You're all wonderful! I'll update when they pick up Nikata.
