[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

Our Sailor is currently having issues with her back. Sounds similiar in that she stopped moving....in fact just froze in a standing position like she could not operate her legs at one point. Our vet watched her move and things it is a slipped disk or pinched nerve.....gave her some meds and put her on rest for two weeks.....and said no more jumping on/off anything.

Sailor was better after the two weeks and stayed better for another week/10 days, but the jumping is a huge issue.....as soon as we turn our back or walk away, she is jumping somewhere.....if we keep her crated, she is fine. So we are having to keep her confined anytime we are not with her and able to give her our complete attention.....as we know the jumping is causing her back issues.

(Interesting side note.....Sailor has LP and we figured that was what was going on and we see issues with that off and on.....but when the vet watched her move in his office, he said it was not LP as she was walking on the very tips of her back feet.....and he thinks that most of the times we were seeing issues with her it was not the LP, but instead her back....as he felt she had been having back issues for some time. So we are now learning to watch her movement to determine if the issue is her back or LP or some of both.)

I hope Maddie responds to the meds and rest and begins to recover! It is so sad to see them hurting and scary when they will not move. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
