Buddy's Resurgence From a Stroke to his brain

​Buddy had a poor prognosis when he was first referred to our physical rehabilitation service. Dr Yates at Baton Rouge Veterinary Specialists had diagnosed Buddy with multiple micro hemorrhages/bleeds in his midbrain. Buddy had a lot to overcome. He couldn’t get up or walk on his own, has a heart murmur, and laryngeal paralysis. He also had developed several pressure sores from being unable to get up for so long. Our therapists, Robby Porter CCRP and Melissa O’Brien RVT, CCRP, worked with Buddy daily for almost 4 weeks straight to help him regain function and independence. Each day they rewarded Buddy for simple tasks and in turn Buddy rewarded them with more motivation and drive to get better. We utilized hyperbaric oxygen and LASER therapy, however the bulk of Buddy’s care and success was due to our therapists skills and a few rolls of kinesiology tape. Knowledge, wisdom, bravery, passion and love, beyond any technology are the cornerstones of overcoming adversity. We should all be a little more like Buddy, our world could be a much nicer place.
