Kyra here, back on all of my feet! Thanks to Watson for covering for me during my illness and recovery. About 1 month ago, I was feeling really weak in my legs and within a day I couldn’t stand on any of my legs. I had a form of wobblers syndrome. This is a neurological condition where I couldn’t walk because of spinal cord compression in my neck. I wasn’t showing any signs of weakness or wobbly before that dreadful day, it was so weird. Thank goodness my mom knew to rush me to the specialist so I could have surgery. First they did a myelogram (where they injected my spinal cord with dye to locate where the exact location of spinal cord was being compressed) then I went directly into surgery where the board certified surgeon fixed me up! I stayed in the ICU for three days before getting to go home. Thank goodness for a supportive Watson, who knew to leave me alone while I was in recovery and for great pet parents that did rehabilitation work with me. I really enjoyed the laser therapy sessions that definitely helped with the healing process.
