Your girl needs to be under the care of a veterinary neurologist for the best chance at getting through this.

It sounds like all neuro issues that can cause back leg weakness are still possible (if they didn't do MRI or CT or myelogram to confirm a disc issue).

Disc issues can be operable. Pups can get neuro symptoms with disc issues because the ruptured disc puts pressure on the spinal cord where some nerves live. Cleaning out the area and relieving the pressure can help quite a bit.

My friend's dog had a disc issue with neuro involvement. The pain became unmanagable, even with lots of drugs. The surgery fixed most of the problem. Now he is happy and doing 95+% better. Without the surgery, he would have had to be euthanized.

My girl has a disc issue with no major neuro involvement. Surgery was an option because of the pain she was in; however, adding in a particular drug seemed to really help her feel better and heal. We have been able to avoid surgery so far.

Anyway, neuro issues (especially those that a general vet can't handle) should be immediately seen by a neurologist. Most general vet offices aren't equipped for these issues. To keep running regular xrays and such is just grasping at straws. No need to keep putting money into the same things when they already don't think this problem can be managed. Your pup needs a specialist.
