I got some video of Layla in rehab last Tuesday so here they are!

Exercise ball (very slight movements, really easy to feel but hard to see):

Underwater treadmill:

In a cart (too big for her, so the vet has a leash on the back to keep it a little more stable):

Oh Lynsey!!! That is fantastic!! I loved watching her on the underwater treadmill. She was doing just wonderful! That must be you walking beside her while she's in the cart. I notice just every few seconds she is looking up. She looks soooo happy! And I swear in the first video...she looks at the camera and winks!:p You must be so happy with all the progress she is making! I certainly am!!!:)

Lol yeah that's me... everytime I started to fall behind she'd look up at me like "Are you coming, mom?" She is soooo happy and makes me so proud every day. Her vet last week asked if we would mind if she could meet another set of yorkie parents if they're in while she's there, because their yorkie was just in an accident and has no deep pain sensation either. She thinks Layla is such a good role model because she is so happy and doesn't care that she can't walk! She's a good example of a dog who has a happy healthy life without the use of her legs :) I am so happy for her to help out someone else, because we didn't have that when she went down. If we had to go through this for any reason, I'm glad it's helping other people.

I'm so excited for Layla!!! She's doing so well!!!! You can tell in the last video how happy she is to be so mobile!!! How wonderful for all of you!!! Give her an extra kiss and treat from me!!!!

I will Diana :)
I gave her a little haircut last night to blend into her shaved back a little better :) Her legs have short hair now and hopefully it'll be easier for the vet to see them in the water!

She really is the cutest little girl! She looks like she loves the cart. She is doing so well, Linds! I think it is just wonderful that these other dog's owners can get to see how well and happy she is.

What a little love she is! You really are blessed! Her spirit is so inspiring.

Thanks so much for posting the videos. I just love seeing her!!!

My mom's doxy (who just went to the rainbow bridge) had a cart too, for about 3 months before he was able to walk after his back surgery. She looks so happy to be zooming along!

Good for Layla! SO proud :)

Thank you :)

The vet called today to tell me that she does not think that Layla's nerves will regenerate at this point past surgery. I knew that in my heart it might turn out this way but hearing the vet say it was like a kick in the stomach and I am a crying mess right now. It's very hard to hear news like that.

Oh baby, I'm so so sorry! At least Layla isn't in pain, and she's such a happy girl. I know seeing to her every need is hard on you, though. I'm sorry you're hurting:o

Thank you Betsi. You all know how special Layla is to me, and she'll continue to be my special little girl, but it's so hard to know she won't be the same again. We're measuring her for a cart tonight so she can follow us around the house and run around the yard again. I would do absolutely anything for her to recover, to feel when we give her tummy rubs or back scratches, to be able to scratch her own ears, to be able to do her business in private (because she hated doing it in front of anyone!). This is by far the hardest thing I've ever dealt with in my life.

I know it is hard, but I wouldn't give up hope just yet! And I can still see her zooming around in the cart - she will be fine, you will be fine, even if she makes no more progress. I know it is so hard to hear news like this, and I'm so sorry, but I really think things will work out just fine!

Thank you Gayle. She is happy and that's all that matters I guess. She will be happier with a cart too.

Oh Lindsey, Layla just looks so cute in that cart she is just adorable. I love the vids :D

I know you heard bad news but all Layla wants is to be part of your family.

XOXOXO
