- I am not a veterinarian or an animal physical therapist. This video shows the exercises our vet recommended for Ripley, who had a t-13 FCE...check with your vet for what is best for your dog. Ripley had FCE on April 28. This video made august 14th. Ripley did not walk for two+ months, then started to show great improvement. The neurologist vet was surprised!
Early on, we would do this set of exercises 3-4 times a day, everyday. Now, since he is walking more, 2-3 times a day. Don't forget the stretching.
Ripley moved on to a better place today. Almost 12 years old and the last 4 dealing with his FCE. He loved to run and was dealt a crappy hand in life. Loved until the end and beyond. 🐶
Sorry to read. Glad you got to spend quality time with him.
I'm so sorry for your loss...it's always hard but bless you for loving him the way you did and thank you so much for this video and giving us hope for our dogs in need of this care!❤
I'm sorry to hear about Ripley. My deepest condolences.
So sorry to hear that. You gave him a wonderful life and a chance to love again. Our babies are everything !
Seeings this late, but my condolences, he definitely made me smile and laugh throught this video & i thank you tremendously for posting these exercises with him, you and Ripley have given me and my family so much hope, thank you for sharing his beautiful life with us ❤
Hey man. Thanks I'll perform this leg exercise on my dog. I have been crying for days, which clearly isn't the solution. This is a motivating video. Thanks man!
Get a wheel chair. It brought my dog back to life. He can use it on walks and looks forward to it every day. Now he is so cocky again. His spirit is not broken anymore. He sniffs, walks, etc. a dog again. Inside the house I carry him wheel barrel style but outside his wheelchair is his chariot!
Kritika Sharma thanks and good luck
I definitely understand that. I’ve cried for quite some time my dog injured himself three weeks ago and I’m looking for exercises I can do to help them heal but I don’t wanna push them too far so this video was wonderful
I am a physical therapist for humans and I commend you for your devotion to Ripley. You have great instincts in terms of properly performing passive range of motion and stretching to his hind legs. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for putting this up! My dog is now paralyzed 3 legs. This is very hopeful. I have started to work on his legs with these instructions. So happy to see Ripley walk again. Amazing!! Love from Japan.
Doug, thank you so incredibly much for this video you made so many years ago. Our barely one-year-old English Mastiff had an embolism yesterday and was diagnosed today. You have given me so much hope AND practical action to take until we can get in touch with a veterinarian physical therapist (today is Friday). Thanks to you, and know Ripley lives on doing good and helping others.
My 6 year old just stopped walking yesterday. No response coming from her tail or hind legs. But seeing you champ walk in the end gave me alot of hope and positivity. Thanks for sharing this video. Will start with it right away
Thank you for doing this video. My little min pin fell from a chair onto his neck last week and became completely paralyzed. The vet said that it was just badly sprained. He is still with the vet but I'm going to have to bring him home soon. After 7 days he can now move his neck so I'm staying positive and look forward to watching and working with him to have a full recovery. Your video is so very helpful thank you again! Best of luck to you and Ripley!
Teresa Snider any luck
Hello Teresa how are you doing today.
That's amazing, you are doing an amazing work with Ripley, thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks for sharing! 4 years later, your video is giving me hope.
Thank you for this great video our blue tick beagle hurt a disc in her back and she is recovery with acupuncture, chiropractor and the camber. We started doing this with her and she is now walking. God Bless you and Ripley!!
This video is amazing. It gives everybody hope. Thanks for posting your story and best wishes for Ripley, the miracle dog's success, further recovery and health.
Sorry for your loss. Your devotion to that dog is awesome to see.
I appreciate this so much! So happy to see Ripley is doing so well🐾💚🐾🐶
I am sorry to hear about Ripley. On Sunday or Dobby had an FTE episode. We are hopeful for a full recovery. Thank you for the information.
Thanks so much for this video. Doable exercises clearly explained. Best of luck to Ripley!
Thank you so much for this!!!! I’m in the first 3 weeks of paralysis with my lab and I needed to see hope ♥️
Hey, how is the condition of your lab? Few months ago my lab also had spinal cord injury, although his condition is improving because of the meds and daily walk. I'll start giving him physiotherapy also but just thought of asking you what else you did for your lab?
Thanks :-)
Hey i think my 2 and 1/2 months old lab is having the same issue and i really dont know what to or even the vets know what to do :/ hope your dogs are okay now and hope mine will be too❤️
Im so sorry that you lost your precious boy. I just wanted to thank you for this video, it is very helpful and encouraging. My 6 month old pup has had this happen to him, and to actually see how you did these exercises with your dog helps tremendously. Thank you so much.
My wiener dog Myley, my best friend , my family, jumped off the couch and it paralyzed her legs and backend This was 7 days ago. The vet gave a terrible prognosis... I have been working with her every day and haven’t left her side. 2 days ago her legs and tail have started twitching, I refuse to give up on her. Thank you for the inspiration
How is now him? I have the same problem, but refuse to make him sleep
How is he doing
How is he doing???
Thank you for this video! My vet just approved me doing this for my corgi, who had back surgery. By the way, Ripley is hilarious! Thank you so much!!!
Aww thank you for your dedication. Also, thank you for this video to help other pups. ♡
I know I’m a few years late but thank you very much my dog recently got paralyzed I will do this routine every day God bless you thank you! ❤️
Great video my dog just came home yesterday from spinal surgery so I’m gonna be following that road map that you had once again thanks Charles
Thank you so much for this. My dog is about where Ripley is in the video, but he was much worse a few weeks ago. He got better than this, but injured himself on Wednesday and has taken a step backwards. I knew exercises would help, but I had no idea where to start. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video. I think you did a great job. My dog is paralyzed and This is a great help. Thanks again 😊👍🏻🙏
Appreciate you for sharing this video. Thankyou again!
Thanks for posting this! Very helpful and encouraging.
Thank you so much for making this video. My German Shepherd boy had a FCE on November 1, 2017. He's not walking yet. His left Front and Left Rear legs are paralyzed. He has gone from being flat out on his side to now being able to set up on the barrel of his chest with ease. As of the last two days he is now tolerating us slinging him with a twin bed quilt. We tried early on and he would have nothing to do with it. But now he's doing well with it, bearing weight on both front and rears, not a long time but bearing none the less. Enough to hold a stance. We are able to get him out on the deck and he does his business out there. Small victories. But you know it's encouraging to know the time line in which you experience victories with your dog. How is Ripley doing today? Thanks again for making this great video! Gotta keep the muscles going.
Hello Vintage how are you doing today.
Thank you so much. My dog had a car accident and he is recovering from brain trauma. We noticed his sitting posture post injury is not straight anymore and possibly due to spinal damage. so I decided to look at videos. This is godl for anyone who has to help their dog with their legs!
Thanks for posting your video our pet just had A FCE a couple of days ago and it's nice to have some hope.
You've relived my anxiety
Thank you for posting. Into Day 10 of our dogs FCE, every bit of information helps! Happy to see Ripley walking :)
Tracey, how have you made out with the exercises? Any improvement?
Hello Tracey how are you doing today.
Thanks so much, I'm encouraged seeing the progress, this happened to my dog 2 days ago.
Hello Alisa how are you doing today.
Wonderful and helpful !! video My 6 yr old Boston had a FCE as of 3 days ago affecting her right hind leg. Thank you for the Physical therapy tips!! Riley is beautiful by the way . Glad he is so improved !
Thank you so much my dog was recently paralyzed due to spinal injury. Thank for this.
Thank you for sharing this.
I'm so sorry to hear about Ripley's experience. My dog recently suffered from an FCE in December. I'm a veterinary student and they didn't recommend any physical therapy at our teaching hospital. I did research on my own and he recovered in 6 days. Thank you for this video and I'm so glad he has improved!
Melissa Ocariz Please help. Did you perform a similar routine?
Melissa , what breed dog you’ve ? What exercises you performed ? Please share. My min had a stroke day before yesterday and I’m devastated to see him like this. Due to this corona he has limited access to vet. Please help
Thanks, Doug.
Thank you!
thanks for making this video 7 years ago. Our pup had IVDD surgery a week ago and is walking but wobbly. I'm going to ask the vet on next week's visit about doing these exercises for Brighton.
Thanks a ton for the video.. I hope it works on my 14+ dog too. He was very active until 2 months ago.. suddenly he started imbalancing and we got to know about his spine problem from vet. Will definitely try this.🙏
Doug man God Bless you mate!
Thank you for the video..we also have been devastated by a similar injury to our french bulldog, its only been 6 days since he's been home but your video has given us hope! Thank you🙏🤞
Any update ?
Thank you so much for this encouraging video!! My Xena is 3 weeks in having her FCE. Still not walking but am seeing improvements.

Thank you! You give me hope for my chihuahua. I will start this first thing in the morning with her. Best wishes for you and Ripley.
What happened to your Chihuahua? Mine is currently having a spinal injury and is partially paralyzed in the hind legs and peeing involuntarily.... Please help me ...
@@nicolejansen9441 she has intervertebral disc disease. She pees involuntarily and wears a diaper. We've done some physio and it helps.
Hello Tanya how are you doing today.
Great job! I'm a PT human & Vet and my old girl fell down the stairs and sustained FCE and I'm managing her at home too, fingers crossed I get the same result as you x

I just adopted a puppy who had a broken back from his previous owners, they throwed him from the top of the stairs, he had a surgery 3 weeks ago, 20% change of walking. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for your advice
Similar thing happened to our dog, this is helpful, thank you
Awesome job to you and Ripley!!! My dog had this and I did these along with reflex exercises on paw and standing balance exercises, weight bearing. Also I'm more careful with rolling her on her back just because she seems more sensitive to that now...and we love belly rubs ❤
Thank u so much😢
My dog had a car hit him and break his lower spine😢. He had a surgery, but now he has paralised back legs . I will perform this exercises every day ❤ thank you for posting this

Hi Doug. Thanks for the posting this video. My dog Alice is about 2 months into having lost feeling in her rear legs. It happened very quicky. One day she had a slight limp and within 2-3 days she was completely paralyzed in both rear legs. The vet could find no sign of a spinal tumor or degenerative spinal disease. We believe she may have suffered some sort of trauma while at home by herself. Especially because she likes to play neighborhood watch and bark at everyone that walks by the house and jump on and off chairs and couches. We have been going to a animal chiropractor and after a few weeks Alice is starting to show signs of feeling in her upper thighs and tail, but nothing from the middle of the leg and down. I'm going to ask the doc if exercises like this might help her out. At this point I just want to see her walk again and get back to her normal playful self. Thanks again, Doug. Good luck, Ripley! Rooting for you, buddy!
My dog had the same thing in 3 days he went from wobbly to back legs barely working. It was a slipped disc and a CT scan confirmed it. Xray not so much. For us surgery was 95% chance and not doing it means high chance of it happening again after healing. So no more chairs couches or bed jumps. We don't know how it happened
Same thing with my Xena. Held right leg up on Friday and completely paralyzed in the rear by that Sunday. We are three weeks post FCE - at least that's what they are calling it. There is a facebook page also for this condition. She started to wag her tail a bit on her own this week and use bathroom normally outside. Hoping mobility is next to follow.
Thank you so much for posting this. How many times a day would you do this? How is he doing now?
thanku sir 😊
So sorry for Ripley's passing. Thank you for sharing your story. I wanted to ask how soon after the FCE did you start the exercises?
Thanks help full my frenchie had back surgery 3 weeks ago just took first attempted steps 2 days ago. Gonna be a long haul
good job sir
Thank you sir. What do you think about "tens" electrical stimulation device?
Sorry for your loss. Was he ever incontinent due to the FCE? My dog just had a spinal stroke as well.
Thank you so much for showing us your exercises I will do it with my baby 😔! Question : your dogs was doing pee when you carried him or tried to do it?
Hi there thanks for sharing!! It really gives me hope for my baby! Did you only do this at home therapy? or did you do also do the water camber and ect. I want to make sure I'm doing everything in my power to help him get to a speedy recovery. This just happened today. 7-19-19 please and thank you for all you help. ❤
Hello Beckie how are you doing today.
My kelpie has just done this same injury after turning to quick and slipping while running around , we after 24 hours have movement on her left but nothing on her right. Did you start the exercises straight away or did you wait a bit for the medications to see what happened , I've been told to keep movement to a minimum for 7 to 10 days but I feel like some for of movement therapy is a must any advice would be great thanx
I know that Ripley has past but did he go down quickly? Did he loose function of his back legs for months? Did he lose tons of muscle mass on his hindquarters and front shoulders?
You have shown good excersise for paralized dogs. Unbelievable, is that dog got paralized, and just after these excersise 'he' jumped up when you called?!!!!...
Prakashan
My dog was diagnosed with FCE on 5/10/23 and could stand up on her own a week later. She's walking for seconds at a time, wobbly and not too confident as of today. Her legs and paws are still inconsistent but physical therapist is optimistic. How was your dog doing 10 days later after diagnosis? I'm looking for hope that she's going to recover quickly.
This is such a great video! My dog, a one year old shih tzu, also has gotten FCE and I was wondering how many times a day should I do these exercises for my dog? Its a great help :)
Ask your vet
Do you have “before” video? Thanks
I’ve been crying for a week straight ... my dog is showing signs but only in one leg he doesn’t seem to notice it at all , he will try to play, run, he gets excited and it’s giving me a heart attack.... I assume this happened when he was running or jumping during this week, vet told me it was a spinal stroke but he wanted me to get an mri ... turns out they want 4500$ for an mri ... I’m going to try this I hope this helps
Just want to ask we dont have veterinary here in our province so we dont know what happened to our dog. His back legs are paralyzed and he cant poop and doesn't want to eat anymore please help me what to do
can we use this method for 2 months baby
I just stumbled on this and I’m just wondering how Ripley is today
How many times in a day i have to do this?
Do u use any medication apart from the physical therapy
How many times per day did you do this?
The perfect patient! 🤣
Can a dog be well with this therapy.?
My Collie cross had an FCE 2 weeks ago. How long did it take for Ripley to start walking (was it 2 months)? Also, did he just start walking on his own or did you have to work with him in a harness or wheel chair?
Thanks so much for giving us hope! Your assistance would be greatly appreciated
I don’t recall exactly but I think it was at least a month. He couldn’t even stand up and then one day, he was just standing up in his bed. He then started to (try) and walk.
@@dmeyer6711 thank you so much! Hope prevails 🙏😊
That's good but we need be patient to and relax without any hesitated to do
