According to The Moho, there were reports about a distressed dog that had been struck by a vehicle a few days ago, rendering her unable to move her hind legs. She had recently given birth and was likely experiencing distress from not being able to find her puppies. Despite her obvious suffering, people passed her by without offering any assistance as she sat helplessly by the roadside, shedding tears of anguish for days.
A group of compassionate volunteers took it upon themselves to rescue the dog and transported her to a local shelter. She was named Sinead (pronounced shinade). She appeared to be either paralyzed or had suffered a broken leg. Despite their efforts to explore the neighborhood and inquire everywhere, there was no sign of her puppies.
After a day, they transferred Sinead to the Animal Wellness Center, where she underwent x-rays to assess the extent of her injuries caused by the vehicle accident.
The x-rays revealed no fractures in her limbs or pelvis, but they did show a broken spine that had affected the nerves in her hind legs. Although Sinead could still defecate and urinate in the shelter, there was concern about her ability to perform these functions.
Doc Gama, the veterinarian who conducted the x-rays, believed that laser therapy had the potential to aid in her recovery. Sinead underwent seven days of intensive laser therapy. Due to the stress of daily travel on uneven roads, she remained at the center during this time.
Four days into her treatment, Sinead was still on intravenous support and receiving nutritional assistance to boost her red blood cell count. She also required a catheter due to difficulties in emptying her bladder. Regular laser therapy sessions continued.
Her condition improved considerably, as she regained the ability to eat, drink, and maintain regular bodily functions. After undergoing nine laser treatments in 13 days, there was a noticeable increase in muscle and bone development. However, her spine remained out of alignment, similar to Tink’s, and further laser therapy was anticipated to strengthen it.
A month later, Sinead was in good condition, but there was uncertainty among veterinarians about whether she would regain the use of her hind legs.
Hopeful for a loving home, our prayers are with you, Sinead! May you recover the use of your back legs! We love you, Sinead!
