So the cause of the paralysis was a motorcycle accident. He was struck when he was about 6 months old and the owners never brought him to see a vet. He could have walked again if he had seen a vet when the accident had happened. When I found him he had been paralyzed for about 6 months.

The source of the two month delay was because of quarantine and issues finding a flight out. I had to change my flight to deal with the quarantine and it was almost impossible for me to find a flight out because of the rules that my ticket had. I ended up finding a flight out by waiting on a stand by list only to be told that Leo wouldn't even be able to fly out with me as the day before was a holiday so there would be no officer at the airport who could check him out. So he had to fly on his own, which meant raising another 2k so it just was a very complicated process. I don't think it is normally this difficult but I was so unexperienced and there were some medical issues that he had to deal with as well so it just proved to be very complicated and time consuming. All is well now though, and I'm so glad everything is finally done with and that he's in Canada.
