This is our little girl, Sunny, who we rescued earlier this year, after our two other rescues died from the same ailment: spinal cord injuries. The first, Tito, was diagnosed by our vet and we took him to a neurologist upstate. After about $8000, they couldn't guarantee he'd ever walk again. So, with heavy hearts, we put him down. The second, Penny, was diagnosed with the same injury after jumping off the bed. She dragged her back legs behind her and could not empty her bladder. Our vet told us she would never walk and we'd need to express her bladder twice a day. With heavy hearts again, we euthanized Penny.
We finally went back to the SPCA and there she was, in the arms of a tech, because she had just been returned to the shelter by her latest rescuer, who claimed she was "lethargic". She had heartworms. We took her home. She was treated twice and today she is as energetic as a 5 year old terrier should be, and heartworm free! She's an angel and we love her so much. She has the most expressive eyes I've ever seen. We call her "Boris" sometimes because she has a headful of unruly blonde hair like the Prime Minister of England, Boris Johnson!
