A blind greyhound who was left paralysed after running into a tree has made a miracle recovery. Three-year-old rescue dog Ralph had to have two operations to help him walk again after fracturing his spine in the freak accident.
Ralph’s injuries were so serious he lost all movement in his legs. He was rushed to his local vets, who then referred him for specialist treatment at Cave Veterinary Specialists in Somerset.
A CT scan initially confirmed a spinal fracture before Ralph underwent two surgical procedures on the cervical vertebral column – one from above and from below. His progress since has amazed both his owner Alex Osborn and the team at the Linnaeus-owned animal hospital, with the much-loved pet now able to walk and run freely again.
