Thanks Clint, and the same heat to you. This hurts as bad as having a sick kid, maybe worse, the dog never talked back (although the kids never ate shoes).
Vet says keep giving her the meds, we've got her peeing, and when I took her out this AM there were a few tail wags, so she is not totally paralyzed. Odds are not good for a rompy little dog, but the vet says they can live like this, they even make little carts for them if they can't get the rear legs going again,(maybe a modified smitty for winter, LOLTKFC). Have not found any chiro's for dogs yet, but we've got calls into a couple of other places. No one is pushing the surgery hard (3 Vets spoken with), but they both say there is still a chance if we can keep her down for a while, and she is readily taking the meds now. 8 more days on the first prescription, and they will go longer, and possible stronger, on the muscle relaxants. They are cutting back on pain med to help ease constipation (Dogs can't eat prunes, which is probably a blessing!) One day at a time.
