Featured Story: Clara The Mini Zebu That Could

---

Dandy-Walker syndrome is a rare congenital brain malformation that causes an issue with how the brain forms. Dandy-Walker involves the cerebellum and the spaces around it. The cerebellum is in the back of the brain, near the brainstem. It's part of the central nervous system. The cerebellum coordinates movements. It also helps control:

• Balance, coordination and posture.
• Vision.
• Cognition (thinking ability).
• Motor skills.
• Behavior. 

Thanks to a special donor, Gloria Peterson, who donated so Clara could have a custom wheelchair made in honor of her Husband Zane. Two very amazing people who love animals as much as us! 

 Clara's new wheelchair did arrive but it only acts as a sling because it was not engineered correctly by the outfit we used. Luckily, Gloria stepped in and offered to have a brace made in the meantime to help bring Clars's leg back into the proper position.  Specialized Pet Solutions came to the design rescue and manufactured a custom orthotic brace just for Clara to help move her leg into place overtime.
