YES…Twilight is WALKING on her own!! Two weeks ago it was not known if she would live or ever walk again! Twilight was found paralyzed and having trouble breathing. We rushed her to the ER and then a neurologist. MRI and spinal tap showed that Twilight had a huge contusion, a large hematoma, and abscess on the tissue surrounding her spinal cord, most likely caused by trauma from a blunt force object. Exploratory surgery was performed, and Twilight was discovered to also have an extremely rare condition called “Dermoid Sinus (DS)” which contributed to her paralysis and meningitis.
The vets said it could be a few weeks or months before Twilight could walk on her own. This little gal was determined! She handled physical therapy like a champ, and made improvements daily! And look at her now…two weeks and already walking! She is still under the care of a neurologist, but she was able to leave the 24/7 ICU for a foster home.
