Update on Nemo December 21:
Nemo, the little 9 week old basset puppy who came to GGBR on December 14, due to his being unable to use his hind legs to walk is making some progress. He has been diagnosed with Swimmer Puppy Syndrome, also known as flat puppy syndrome, which is a rare developmental deformity in newborn puppies that affect their ability to walk or stand. The primary symptom is the splayed out position of the legs, in Nemo's case the rear legs , resembling a swimmer, which prevents the dog from bearng weight. With physiotherapy throughout the day, massage, taping of the rear legs and good nutrition, there is hope that he will continue to progress. He is able to use his legs now for a few steps which is very hopeful. Nemo is a special happy little guy who is very determined to walk! If you can help toward the cost of the veterinary care for his treatment, it will be much appreciated by GGBR and by Nemo.
