Our 3.5 year old labradoodle has suddenly lost the use of her hind legs. She was limping yesterday but at lunch time started shaking and was very wobbly on her back legs and they were giving away when she walked. I took her to the vets who have said it's a problem in her spine but they don't know exactly what. They have her a pain killer and anti inflammatory injection and said come back tomorrow
I brought her back home and she has sat in the corner of the room without moving for the last 6 hours. She is alert and doesn't seem to be in pain and will take a treat and have a small drink if offered but won't move.
I've tried to coax her to her bed as it would tr warmer than where she is lying but I ended up lifting her as she can't stand. The plan is to leave her in the living room overnight and see how she is in the morning but to be honest it's not looking good.
The kids are worried but the reality of the situation hasn't kit them yet and I am worried about what the next steps will entail when I take her back tomorrow.
