Help Lenny Walk Again

In October 2013 Lenny and I were in a car accident. I suffered a small break in my back but my poor boy suffered a compound fracture in his spine which has left him with limited use in his back legs! They even had to take Lenny to the vets in the ambulance with the help of a fireman because I simply wouldn't leave him. When I brought him home from the vets it was with a hope and a prayer as at this point he had no movement at all in his back legs.

We have been battling for 18 months now with the help of some amazing people to try and get Lenny walking again. He has had physio, veterinary support, accupuncture and now does water treadmill twice a week with the amazing Sam and Sue at Ashbourne Hydrotherapy. But every time we start to see progress unfortunately something will happen to set my boy back a stage. I absolutely have to be able to give my boy a quality of life so he can enjoy the little things - a little walk, playing without falling over but at the minute this is not possible for him.

What we would like to do is give Lenny one last big shot at regaining the use of his back legs which means getting him into a purpose built rehab centre where he can be treated every day and give him a shot at a life that he can enjoy again because at the minute life isn't too fun for my beautiful boy. Here's the catch... There is absolutely no guarantee that this will work but it is chance for him that I just can't walk away from. If it does Lenny will still need to keep up his treadmill work to keep his muscles strong.

I have loved my boy unconditionally from the moment we met and he has helped me through some tough times, I have literally done everything in my power to try and get him through this and have driven the lengths of the country to try so many different things. I can't stand to see him suffer like this anymore, I love him too much.

Thank you for taking the time to read about Lenny's story xxxxx
