Those meds and strict rest are good (very small kennel is best). I am really concerned for you and your pup though. When they go lame on both back legs it is usually a disc (which your vet confirmed). Cord compression never truly heals, even with meds. When it is this severe, the longer your pup can't walk the more likely she never will. This is why it is an emergency. Vets tend to send these cases to neurology on an extremely urgent basis. If you choose to wait it out, watch for incontinence or inability to poop and urine overflow (she may not be able to pee on her own..it will just come out when she gets full and would need to have her bladder expressed several times daily). It depends on which discs and nerves are affected.

Please don't use any alternatives treatments until you see a heurologist.
