This lovely labrador is Rosie.
Poor Rosie suffered from a condition called Fibrocartaginous Embolism (FCE), resulting in partial paralysis of the left front and back legs, leaving her unable to stand or walk. This is caused when blood vessels to a portion of the spinal cord become blocked, leaving the spinal cord deprived of oxygen and nutrients.
Rosie has been having physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to help her regain strength, coordination and mobility and to treat any compensatory issues. Rosie has shown some great improvement over the last few weeks and is continuing to get stronger.
