The Moment Of Pure Happiness

Bo, a nine-year-old Silver Labrador, faced a heartbreaking battle with intervertebral disc disease. This condition left him completely paralyzed, with no hope in sight. However, the family discovered a steroid treatment that would change everything. Against all odds, Bo managed to take his first steps again, filling the household with joy.

In the fall of 2022, Bo’s condition worsened as he ruptured multiple discs in his back and neck. His owners tried numerous treatments, from rehabilitation to acupuncture, but nothing seemed to work. It wasn’t until they tried steroids that Bo’s condition started improving, leading to a miraculous recovery.

Seeing Bo move again was the culmination of their efforts and sacrifices. “I can’t believe we finally made it this far… after three ruptured discs, 2 surgeries, and I honestly thought we might have said goodbye to him by now – but he’s still trucking,” Christiana shared on TikTok.

The family had endured sleepless nights and endless worry, but witnessing Bo stand on his own brought tears of happiness. Their beloved pet was back on his feet, and their hearts were full.

Sometimes, He Forgets That He Can Do It

After several weeks of treatment, Bo could walk without assistance. Previously confined to his bed, he now initiates cuddles with his owners. This new-found independence was something they had almost given up on.

However, Bo’s lengthy paralysis caused him to sometimes forget his ability to walk. “My dog was paralyzed for so long that he still forgets he can walk. He’ll lay there and whine until I remind him he can walk,” Christiana noted.

Bo often needs encouragement to move, especially after waking up. His parents remind him, and slowly, he gets up and starts walking again, albeit with some hesitation.

Monte and Christiana found a creative way to help Bo during these moments. Monte built a customized cart for Bo to use during his rehabilitation. When Bo feels too tired to walk, Monte gives him a comforting ride in the cart, which Bo absolutely adores.

A Community of Support

Christiana has been sharing Bo’s inspiring journey on her TikTok account, drawing the support of thousands of followers. People from all over have been rooting for Bo, offering words of encouragement and love.

For Christiana and Monte, Bo’s recovery has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but it has also brought them closer together. Their dedication to their furry friend showcases the profound bond between humans and their pets.
