Hello All,
Sorry to bear bad news on my 2nd Valversary, but Andie our malamute/black lab cross started to get weak on Monday, and by Tuesday morning was no longer able to stand up under her own power. Like the previous episode last year, she doesn't appear to be in any pain, and has remained continent (both solid and liquid). She can move her tail a little bit, but this time all four of her legs are equally affected. I immediately tried DMSO treatments like last year, but this time she didn't rally, though she hasn't gotten much worse either. I took her to the vet yesterday and he gave her a cortisone shot, but this morning there was no change. The weather was really cold for about the same period of time with lows of -10° F and highs in the mid teens. Last night a warm front arrived with some snow and the temperature rose above freezing for the first time in a week. Andie hasn't rallied yet. So I'm asking for prayers for her recovery. She's not in pain, and wants to go on living. She just needs to get back up on her feet again and regain her strength.
