I know when people get a dog they absolutely love, they end up losing it or something happens. Well in my case something happened. Last Monday me and my husband went to our kennels and found our female laying in her dog house flipping like a fish, totally paralyzed. Immediately we took her home and put her in a hot shower. While I was washing her I found a big grey tick in her arm pit. I checked her gums, temp., the whole nine yds. It was all FINE. So I got her stabilized and took her to the vet first thing Tuesday morning. When I got there he was stumped that she was totally paralyzed but fine. He asked if she had been hit by a car and I said No she hasn't been outta the kennel since the Thursday before for a PKC hunt(which she won). Then he asked if she got a hold of any dead animals, I said she don't fart around in the woods, when you find her she's belly up...(he smiled). I told him bout the tick and he was puzzled that she had 1 this late in winter. He then started putting all the diagnosis together and said our girl had coonhound paralysis or tick paralysis. I removed the tick last Monday and she still isn't better, but I've read that it can take up to 4 mths to see a full recovery. She's eatting fine. Using the bathroom normally, and wiggling round the house on her belly. I know it's mentally frustrating for her because she's ALWAYS a high strung dog. I'm just asking on behalf of my husband to pray for his babygirl, and a speedy recovery. It's just hard to watch such a truely great dog lay around depressed. Again prayers are needed for her. She's able to bear weight for longer than a minute now, ON HER OWN. So keep praying everyone who reads this and has a heart for their hound.

Jenn

I know it’s rough when the dogs we love are having a bad time, but at least you know what is going on with her. This will be a good time to get an even better relationship with her inside the house. If I were her I would probably act like I was still feeling bad to get an extension on my in house stay!! Hopefully she will be up and running quickly. Good luck to you and her.

Thanks va.b&t. she is getting spoiled for sure. She sleeps by my bed on heating pads, blankets, AND HER PILLOW, and during the day I put her in front of the television. It keeps her alert and looking around...lol. She eats can dog food normally but she wouldn't eat the other day so I offered her honey ham from the fridge, now that and bologna is all she'll eat... As long as she eats I'll buy all I can. Thanks for your support and kind words.

Sounds like your doing everything right for her recovery,

Take care, Heather and bob William

3-dogpackleader, Her name is Storm and she is my husbands PRIDE AND JOY! We can't have children, so I guess God gave us GREAT dogs to fill that emptiness. We've only had her for about a year now and she has just impressed us like NO OTHER! Again please pray for our girl and thank you for your prayers.

B&T/Walker. I hate to hear that bout your hound. I don't know what I'd do if we lost one of our hounds. Just keep looking is all I can say. He will show up or you will find him belly up on a tree... Just keep good spirits about you, he will turn up.

For anyone who has prayed for Storm keep it coming! She's totally alert now, getting her appetite up, and eatting and drinking own her own. She's wanting to stand so bad, but her muscles still won't let her. We can put her on her feet and she tries to walk a few steps then stumbles. She's one female that wants to LIVE! Again keep the heartfelt prayers coming and pray she's back to her ole self again.

Thanks
Jenn

Storm is making progress in leaps and bounds. She's on week 3 and up until last friday she couldn't even stand or sit. Now can can get up on her front end and if I help her up, she's up walking around. Not well but at her speed. Never really knew how nosy she was until she's loose in the house...lol. Storm I believe will walk again and she's getting her bark back (@ 3am when I'm trying to sleep) She has been watched carefully and constantly for the past 3 wks and wouldn't have made it if I hadn't been there 24/7.
