(2 years)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meadow can’t catch a break. \u00a0In 2012, she was rear ended at race practice and fractured a vertebrae. \u00a0After lots of home therapy, she made a full recovery and went on to earn obedience titles, as well as another LCM. \u00a0On November 15, 2015, she went down at race practice. \u00a0She was paralyzed. \u00a0She had suffered and FCE, which is like a stroke in the spinal cord. \u00a0A piece of debris shoots from the spine and damages it. \u00a0She spent two nights at the U of M, and on day 3, she as able to walk with the aid of a sling.<\/p>\n I am very well versed on rehabbing dogs, so we spent that winter and spring getting her back. \u00a0She is retired from competition, and will always have a very pronounced hitch at the walking gait. \u00a0However, she still can free run like she did before, and it hasn’t hindered her hunting abilities! \u00a0She’s still my number 1 hunter, with an unknown amount of rabbits and squirrels, plus a couple coons, coyote, fox, cat and now 2 possums. \u00a0Nothing will stop the Fugs!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meadow on 10\/4\/16 at the age of 8<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/swiftcreek.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fugs3-1.jpg\")
