Dear Janet,

I wonder if you can help me. My cat has been run over a car. She fractured 5 places on the pelvis and the one hip broked off the spine. My vet put a screw in to attached it again. The front leg has nerve damage and the vet thinks it is from the neck. Now I am trying everyting to see if the nerve will come back. They are giving her another 4 weeks to see what will happen. I have been massaging the leg, used the Bemer (electromagnetic fied) as well . I dont know if there is anything else I can do to get the nerve back. Is there anything that you can suggest. That would be great. Regards Beatrice
