Expressing the Bladder of a Paralyzed Dog

So, ok, this may sound a bit squeamish, but stick with me here, ok?  It is my hope that this video, which is well done, will help save the lives of paralyzed dogs.  One of the main reasons a dog is put to sleep after becoming paralyzed is the fear of the pet parent in learning how to express the bladder.

But I am here to tell you it just takes a little bit of practice and it is quite easy to learn.  So when I was asked by Paula Milner, whose dog Clark is also paralyzed, to take part in this video, I jumped at the chance.  If we can help paralyzed dogs live a long, happy life and ease the fears of their pet parent, then this was a project I was thrilled to be a part of.

I urge you to share this video with your local vet, on your blog if you have one, Facebook, any social media site you belong to, etc.  I truly believe if others see how easy this really is, it will help many, many dogs.  So, see, not so squeamish after all… but a really good thing we can do.  Thank you so much for your help… and oh, Frankie says, “Arf-a-roo!”
