Default my dog paralysed

Hi, last Tuesday, 1 week ago my beautiful collie Mollie was paralysed. I found her lying not too far from my house. I'm presuming it was a car. She has been to vet, has spinal fracture of T11 and no deep pain sensation in legs or tail.

She is eating well and wanting to play tennis ball and sticks and trying to get up. Vet said surgery would not help as no deep pain sensation so I took her home and am expressing her bladder 3 times a day. and she is on pain reliever Metacam once a day.

I have been giving her Hypericum. I bought Traumeel today and St John's Wort oil. I don't want to put her down as she is so lively and licks my face and wants to be part of everything.

I am getting a crate for her and a mobility cart for later.

Any advice very welcome
Thanks
