My World |

Steve was a remarkable dog. He
managed to survive several unbelievable anomalies. First of all, at five weeks of age he
developed some type of intestinal virus that attacked almost the entire litter
of thirteen. Although my vet thought it
was parvo, all the tests came back negative.
Then, Steve lost all function of his rear legs. He was a very small puppy and had a lot
against him, but I was determined to keep him alive. I put him in a tub of water several times a
day and encouraged him to swim. This
exercise and a change in diet got him past that problem and then he developed
something totally bizarre which I had never seen before – or since. I literally watched his front legs turn into
question marks. Both legs curved to the
left above the knee, then pulled back in line below the knee. My vet thought this might be reason enough to
euthanize him, but I took him to see an orthopod at the hospital where I worked
and he said we had to splint the legs immediately. We put human finger splints on his legs and
within 24 hours they were back to normal!
I regret not having photographed this phenomenon! After all of that, Steve grew up to be a
gorgeous dog and I took him to my first CCA National at
