Re: Please advise me to a board then???
I am sorry to hear she is not getting any better,but from what i have been told it takes time. My vet told be it can take up to 6 months for the spine to heal. I don't know of anyother sites however you could talk to your vet about putting her on a muscle relaxer if he has not already done so, it will make her sleep but rest is really the best thing for her. You can also start doing physical therapy with her to keep her joints moving. You had said in your other post that you have looked at the wheelerchairs, you could also try putting a towel under her back end and have her walk that way if you are going to wait to get the chair. I really hope this helps.

If surgery is not an option, the only thing left to do is steroids and crate rest.
