I have a chiuaua and this just happened to her. On Valentines day Feb 14, 2009 we noticed she was limping and favoring one leg that was about 10 am by 8 pm that night she had no use of her back legs at all.... That was on a Saturday so Sunday vet was closed so Monday we took her in and we were told she had Disc Disease. I was told she had absolutely no feeling in her right leg. They had taken a tool and pushed it through her foot and she did not move resulting in NERVE DAMAGE! To make a long story short.. We prayed and I researched and researched and paniced and cried . She was in the vet for 3 days. We were so fearful of losing her we thought she would loose her bowels but she never did... Anyways I brought her home. Though the vet told us DISC DISEASE.. I strongly think she had a defficiency in her diet. AFTER HER DIAGNOSIS we have since changed her diet and DANCER is up and running and walking as if nothing was ever wrong....
I am not sure of your entire case but we noticed a HUGE CHANGE when we fed a healthier diet. WE NOTICED IT THE SAME DAY!!!!
We had changed Dancers food to EXCLUSIVE cause someone SOLD US ON IT which I should have never done because when we looked the food up there was a recall .. I called the company and they told me the food was fine so we continued to feed it resulting in DANCER having a poor diet cause I trusted this lady....
ANYWAYS let me know if I can help you anymore
