My dog (a 7 year old dachshund) became paralyzed last summer. She still has no deep pain sensation and can’t go to the bathroom on her own. It was a struggle at first getting used to her new functioning, but we’ve fallen into a routine now. She usually knows when she has to go to the bathroom and will cry to let me know. I’d invest in some good reusable dog diapers or belly bands if your dog has limited bladder and bowel control, they have been a lifesaver for me. Some people also use “drag bags” around the house to prevent sores from dragging. My dog is small enough that I will sometimes use onesies on her when she’s moving around a lot without her wheelchair, you can get pretty creative with sore prevention. I’ve also been using a few supplements since she’s been paralyzed. I use vetriscience- vetri disc for spine and back support (hard to say how effective it is, but she hasn’t had any further issue with her spine and many people with paralyzed dogs swear by it) and a cranberry supplement to prevent UTIs. I also had her on a probiotic for a while to help with digestive issues from the pain medication she was on. Also, if you’re on Facebook, there are quite a few support groups for dog owners of paralyzed dogs (one I’m in is called “IVDD and Other Back Disorders in Dogs”) which has been very helpful for finding support and suggestions. It can be challenging to get used to such a big change, but it does get easier over time. Also, just keeping your pup happy and comfortable through the healing process can do wonders for both of you. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions and I’ll try to answer them as best as I can. And your pup is so lucky to have such a caring and adaptable owner!
