It’s Going To Take This Dog 6 Months To A Year To Be Able To Walk Again

Noell Garza and Pilar Sorisno woke on June 11th, 2022, to beloved pitbull Jax, who lost total mobility of his hind legs, leaving him unable to walk.
Upon this observation, they immediately rushed Jax to the MedVet, where they discovered he had IVDD, otherwise known as Intervertebral Disc Disease.
“IVDD is a spinal condition that occurs in dogs and results in a ruptured disc along the spinal column, which blocks blood flow to the rest of the spine and nervous system,” said Noell Garza and Pilar Sorisno on a GoFundMe page.
“Left untreated, this is a fatal condition.”
With this recent diagnosis, Jax will need life-saving surgery requiring several months of rehab with an 80% chance of regaining mobility in his back legs.
Jax was welcomed into the home of Noell Garza and Pilar Sorisno at 8 months old. While they rescued this beautiful pup from the shelter, Jax is the one who rescued them.
The couple has set up a GoFundMe account as they look for assistance in the medical expenses they are facing.
On June 12th, Jax was able to undergo surgery, which went very well! The process of being able to walk again will take anywhere from 12 weeks to 6 months.

The next few weeks are crucial for Jax as the vets will be able to tell if he will be able to walk once again.
During the healing process, Jax has faced complications such as blood in his urine.
After rushing him to MedVet again, they were informed that Jax now had a UTI due to the surgery and catheter.
Noell Garza and Pilar Sorisno gave us one last update on June 21st, informing us that Jax and his incision are healing nicely.
Now more than ever, he would like to join the rest of the dogs as they run around and play.
The couple has found that Jax is starting to flop and roll himself as he wants the ability to get up and walk around or simply greet his daddy at the door.
Within the next few weeks, they will have another check-up to see if Jax has regained any of his mobility.
