Right now the vet is thinking it was possibly a combination of all of those, and he's not thinking neurological.
I've got him crated just in case it is slipped disk, and because he's still stumbling and I don't want him to hurt himself, but the vet didn't think that was what it was. But he didn't get steriod shots, so that wouldn't have been a reason for improvement.
Thanks for all the good thoughts. |
ok if you are comfortable with this but high white blood cell count is a sign of infection and GME can be an infection in the spinal cord. I just have to say i would have my dog looked at by a neurologist in a case like this for a second opinion. If it happens to be neurological the sooner the better. If not neurological at least you ruled it out with a specialist. JMHO
I have not dealt with low calcium but i do have a dog that is hypothyroid and her thyroid t4free was .38 and she is on meds for low thyroid now and she was never paralyzed
