DORI was surrendered to me last year as a three-week-old puppy who suffered from Swimmer’s Syndrome.
Her limbs were flat out to the side of her body and she could not use them. Â She was so weak that she had to be force fed, and her chest was crushed due to her only being able to lay flat her first 3 weeks of life.
When I left the vet that day I left in tears. Â Her prognosis was grim. Â The vet said she had so much damage to her chest wall, and the fact that she needed forced feeding was never a good sign.
Well after my boyfriend did some research, he made her a harness out of a sock, which braced her limbs forward. Â While her legs began to get better, it was touch and go because she wouldn’t eat. Â However, Dori proved to be a fighter.
It’s been almost a year since we got her. Â The vet says she is truly a miracle.
My boyfriend and I have adopted her, and you would never know today that she had any thing wrong with her. Â She runs, plays, does stairs and is a VERY happy girl!
