If your ver is diagnosing a spinal issue...and it does sound very possible...this really should not wait a week. It really depends how far you wagnt to go with this A dragging leg may mean that your pup is paralyzing. In this case, if an owner wants to pursue surgery, it should be done asap (for best chance at reversal). The longer this goes on, the more chance it will be permanent and even get worse (total back end paralysis). At the least I would call a specialty emergency hospital with a neuro dept. and let them assess the situation. In some of these spinal cases, neurologists are called in after hours to try and fix the problem. It really depends on what is going on (whether it is spine related or not, etc.).
