That's really sad. I'm really sorry to hear about your beautiful Jane. It's scary when there is sudden health changes and you don't know what's causing it. I'm curious, did you have a blood panel done to rule out any tick related diseases, i.e. Lyme's? And if so, how is the white count and the protein values? Treatment for this might include a round of antibiotics and possibly prednisone for the inflammation. If the blood work rules out any parasitic illnesses, I would then suspect a ruptured disc over DM. I had a girl with DM and it progressed over a 5 year period, beginning with muscle mass loss in the rear legs, then knuckling over of the rear paws, until she finally had difficulty maintaining balance. DM usually does not present with a sudden onset with advanced symptoms as you describe.

Is there a veterinarian with a specialty in chiropractic care nearby? Acupuncturist?

Please keep us posted on Jane and I am sending you a big hug from me and my 4 doggers. >>>>>>>>>>>Jane and mom<<<<<<<<<<<<
