We were given a 50/50 chance of him ever walking again. 28 days later he is walking (he started walking, not that great, but he was up and back on his feet one day after starting treatment) and hopefully will be back to as close to normal as we can hope for in the up coming months. Magic is alive today because Ann Schultz, Molly Snider and Sally Hayden along with our wonderful vet who listened. Magic retires from the show ring with 53 Best of Breeds along with many group wins and placements. He picked up both his majors and a Best of Breed at 13 months of age. Ken and I waited 13 years for this boy, he is our heart and soul, he is BISS/AM/CAN/INTL CH Magical Memories v Riata Edan OFA.
