Please, please consult a vet further before relying too much on pain meds. If indeed it's AAI/AAS, pain meds only mask what's really going on. Metacam is just going to relieve the pain briefly. The injury is not muscular, so it's not going to help at all long term. Get to a neurologist for a consult. My Angelina who had AAI/AAS suffered paralysis and seizures. We did have stabilizing surgery at Maine Neurological. Her care became so involved that I had to choice but to adopt her to a veteranary technician who worked there.

Please, please consult a specialist. Angie was a fraction of an inch from a death fracture to her spinal cord itself.
