Buddy

Glad you are all okay, and your story may others realize how important it is to safely secure pets when traveling.

The crate probably prevented serious injury to Buddy, and also enabled the emergency workers to safely transport him with your family to the hospital. If he had been thrown around the car, he could have been hurt really badly, or even thrown out into traffic lanes!

Well done!!

Suzanne you wrote that so nicely. When were you in a crash? You poor thing, how is everyone now? Hope you're ok.

Thanks
The Crash was 2 years ago on September the 12th we were collecting buddy from his breeders in sussex.
We are still recovering from the crash, it was a very bad crash.
I am still having trouble with my back, they think its a torn ligament

I'm sorry about your back. Have you tried an osteopath? Also acupuncture is wonderful for back pain. Go to someone very experienced, ask how many years they have been doing it.

That's a lovely story and photo, Suzanne! And so fortunate Buddy was in his carrier - most people would succumb to the temptation to cuddle a brand new puppy and that could have ended in tragedy in this situation.
Ligament injuries can take a very long time to heal. I made a lovely mess of the ligaments and tendons in my left hand when I was fifteen, and it was more than two years before my hand was completely right again but it did get there in the end. You just need to be careful in the meantime.

I havent tried acupuncture or a ostetpath it would be a good idea if it helped my back, i did have physical therpy and it didnt help much.
iam due to see a top doctor soon, and hopefully he will find a solution i have seen this doctor before though, and he said it should take 2 years to get back to normal but it has been two years and its still the same

Do you know what actually happened to your back? I would get the yellow pages out and find an osteopath. Acupuncture can block the pain. I used to turn up for acupuncture in so much pain, I'd feel like throwing up every time I got out of a chair. My acupuncturist also did some osteopath moves on me (she is a physiotherapist for the police force) and I'd leave with no pain at all. Worth the money. She was cheap at £35 a go, the first appointment is usually a little more.

A well deserved £50 for you and Buddy. He is such a star.
