Thank you for your advice, it's a terrible thing to see happen to an active dog, the vets I've seen are not specialists, we live in a small country town & I really don't have access to specialists. The front half of her is still fine, & she has started to stretch out her hind legs & can sit herself up. Hopefully this is a sign of improvement, I'm doing exercises with her back legs daily, her appetite has not been affected. I have no idea where this came from although she was boarded in kennels for a few weeks whilst we went away, she came home with kennel cough & then this happened, I understand it's not a contagious thing? Fingers crossed we get through this, doing my best to keep her amused & happy, your thread about Ruby was helpful thanks so much!

Hello, I'm at a loss with my blue staffy, she has been diagnosed with Coonhound Disease, only her back legs are paralysed so far, she has no bladder or bowel control or no feeling in her tail. We are going on nearly 4 weeks now, no signs of improvement, she seems quite happy in herself . I'm getting worried as her muscles are deteriorating & I really don't know what else I can do for her. I've had 2 opinions by vets both the same but they don't really know much about this disease Any ideas would really be appreciated Cheers!
