@senjisilly - I believe that she was seen by a Ophth so they would have seen if it was PRA since she had already been losing her sight
It can happen in the blink of an eye….

I am so sorry to hear about Tucker. I hope he makes a quick and full recovery. I am attaching pictures of the leash snaps we use. My husband started replacing all of our leash snaps with these after we had 3 of the standard ones fail in the span of 3 weeks when we got Rally 6 years ago. The are not easily unsnapped and have been very secure.

Oh my, I am so sorry, you must be sick about this. I hope that he will get well soon!
-

Oah Jessi,
My thoughts and prayers are with you…I hope that Tucker has a healthy and speedy recovery.
Please keep us posted on his progress. -
Oh my goodness! I will keep good thoughts for a full recovery. Please keep us posted on how he is today…
I know Nala was able to get off of her lead until we put her in a harness, but the lead that Ivoss showed is perfect.
((Hugs)) for you and Tucker. -
Oh I so hope Tucker is going to be ok…...it's one of those things we all know can happen, but sometimes things are out of our control. thankfully It wasn't worse.
Please keep us posted on his condition.
-
I am so sorry to hear about Tucker. Please update us as soon as possible. We will pray for him.
-
Your story gave me chills. It's my greatest fear with Jazzy. They are just so darned fast.
hoping to hear soon that Tucker is back to himself again. -
OMG Jessi!! I'm so sorry about Tucker! I pray for his recovery very soon. I feel so awful about what's happened & how frightening that he was able to unsnap himself from his lead.
Could you please share what type of lead he had…I'm terrified now.
Thanks!
-
Jessi, my heart is up in my throat. How awful! I will be praying that Tucker will make a complete recovery and the paralysis will go away. Keep us updated. Lenora

Hugs and get well thoughts for Tucker. I'm so glad to hear it wasn't as severe as it could have been. Hang in there!
-
I have been thinking of Tucker all day! Do you all worry as much as I do? Seeing his picture on the post makes me feel connected to this little guy. I have to know how he is doing. Good luck Tucker.

-
I'll be praying for Tucker.

thank you all for the well wishes and support, it really helps!
we saw our boy today - the good news is he can stand, albeit not very well. we think his brain got jostled around in his skull upon impact, causing swelling, bruising, and damage. his left eye is bigger than his right eye. so if the left side is damaged, that would explain the problems with his right legs. they sort of fold over at the wrist (front), and his toes flip, so it's pad up pointed toward the back on his rear hind leg. he can walk, but 1/2 the time he catches the paw correctly, other half he doesn't. he wobbles, and even falls down. but he can move them, so they are not paralysed.
he's still at the vets, on agressive cortisol treatments. they are keeping him another night, and day, and he may be able to continue treatment at home tomorrow night, but we're playing it by ear right now. if he has any set backs, he may stay there for a bit. but as of now, it's slowly getting more positive. we really need all the swelling to be gone, and some healing to take place before we can make any assumptions.
he does know us, he scrambled to get to me, gave kisses, wiggled his bum (then fell down). he ate a whole bowl of food, drank water, and went outside to relieve himself. he's alert.. however, his beautiful prick ears are not a pair anymore. the right one is flopped. he has major bruising and a cut there too.
it's slow going at this point. thanks again for the thoughts and prayers!
ETA: it was a regular clip, like you see on the thousands of leashes in the stores. slide the metal part down, it opens up. it was a medium grade, for a 60lb dog.
-
Oh jessi and Tucker! I'm glad to hear things are looking a little more positive today. How scary that must have been for you! Sending loads of healing vibes and hugs your pack's way!
-
Jessi - Healing prayers and vibes for Tucker's full recovery. Keep us posted on his progress. It is a hard and sad lesson about leashes. I am sorry for what you are going through.
