hi laura,
this happened on tue morning. i heard from chad who said that he heard from rhonda that they were trying to get him in the truck that morning and he ran onto riverside drive and was struck by a car. they had not put a lead on him and he got away. this is unacceptable and grossly negligent. and dallas still hasnt called us to even check on wily or tell me any of what may have really happened. i've gotten all of this information second/third-hand. unreal. -

Keeping fingers crossed and keeping you and Wily in my thoughts and prayers. We had a dog who suffered a spinal injury and surgery was able to return him to an excellent level of living ….for another 11 years. I hope Wily's outcome is as good.

and prayers for your furbaby's full recovery. Such a tragic situation especially with no details of the accident and lack of concern from the pet sitters. UnReal!

What a terrible thing to have to go through! I can only imagine the emotions you are experiencing through all of this. Hang in there & I will certainly keep Wiley in my thoughts. I truly hope Wiley makes a speedy & full recovery & that you get answers to what all happened.

I think the fact that the dog walker is not even calling you makes it worse. I hope he is bonded. :mad:

Wily was chasing Tyler around the park like crazy last Friday – that's the last I saw of him or the walkers.
I'll look for them on Monday during their regular hours.

Saying prayers for a good recovery for Wily.
We know a man who used to bring his injured lab, very crippled in the rear, to the beach. At first the dog really couldn't walk so he carried him to the water with a life jacket on, and supported the dog as they went up and down in the water. Gradually the dog could swim with the vest on, and got strong enough to take it off. That man worked many hours with his dog over a year, but the dog could walk, a bit strangely, and could chase a ball and swim like a normal lab. He had been hit by a car too. Of course spinal injuries are all very different, I hope Wily will recover and have a good life with you!

rita.I saw a show about the "Vet-Stem" company, and it looked promising. Mostly, they seemed to be treating dogs with arthritic conditions, but they had significant results. It seems relatively non-invasive. They draw blood from the dog, and the company isolates the stem cells. Then the purified serum is injected back into the dog.
Sending prayers for Wily. -

Rita, I just saw this thread. I am so very, very, terribly sorry that you and your family must go through this tragedy. Wily was (is!) such a beautiful, amazing Basenji. I'm sending all good wishes and karma to you all. Hang in there.
