our bordercolli was having an operation in his back two days ago. and in
that matter the vet wanted new x-ray pictures takeen with contrasts.
but something went terribly wrong. the contrasts went "outside" and the dog
started to bleed. now he is like having CP, and he cannot stand on his feet.
the one side is most paralised, and he have had som spasms. he must be feed,
and helped in most ways. we must hold his head when he drinks. he can wave
his tail, but not use his legs.
do anyone know anything about this kind of situation? and how long time it
will take approx. untill the dog can use his legs again?
i would be very happy for an answear.
