“What the humans did to Valeric is incomprehensible. They took this little boy hostage and abused him daily. Then they dumped him near someone’s house. Valeric was starving, dehydrated, scarred, covered in cuts, bruises and scars, and his spine was broken. When he was found, he was completely immobile and in a state of shock.
Valeric, who was only three years old, was in critical condition and rushed to the ICU. He was immediately admitted to the hospital and given blood transfusions and intravenous fluids.
Once his condition was stabilized, he underwent surgery to repair his spine. During the operation, it was discovered that his spinal cord had been completely severed, which would have a significant impact on his mobility.
Despite the dire news, hope remained strong and Valeric received the best possible care and rehabilitation. Veterinarians eventually transferred him to a boarding facility with a rehabilitation center known for performing miraculous cures for dogs with spinal cord injuries.
Valeric worked around the clock with her rehabilitation team, undergoing three to four sessions a day. The rigorous routine included exercises to help her regain her strength and evening massages. The focus was on building muscles in her lower back and pelvis through exercises like squats and acupuncture, designed to help her build the strength she needed to lift herself.
However, Valeric’s walking pattern remained a major challenge. This pattern refers to the coordinated movement and rhythm of his legs when he tries to walk. At the time, his legs were not making coordinated movements similar to walking, even with external stimuli. This was a very important part of his recovery, as regaining this walking pattern was essential for him to walk again.
While Valeric’s prognosis remains guarded given his spinal cord injury, the fact that he is showing some reaction and engagement during the sessions is a positive sign and shows that progress, albeit slow, is indeed possible. In the meantime, he is “walking,” playing, and enjoying life in his new wheelchair.
Rehabilitation is never a quick or easy journey, especially for a dog who has survived years of abuse, but Valeric has made remarkable progress.
