I think the protein can be also a factor but not for the legs read the gme info i just posted they get spaced out etc.

I would refrain from walking and stressing out the body until you figure out what is going on

sometimes it can all start within 2 mos of vaccinations as the vaccines do not cause it they are a trigger as gme is an autoimmune disease and it runs in this breed
I must be missing something......back legs giving out is a symptom of GME?

Where is this information about vaccines being a trigger for GME?

I really think that this pup needs to go to a specialist if she has not already. There could be so many different things going on and to guess and scare oneself is not a good idea imo. I would not start looking at disastrous diagnoses at this point. Just my thoughts.
