We have no idea how she injured herself. The vet said sometimes it takes nothing, like you hear of people throwing out their backs tying shoe laces. Keeping her calm is a challenge for sure! She actually is showing signs she knows when she needs to potty, which is an improvement. Still she can't stand to do so which annoys her. She has been crate trained, so that part isn't a bother to her at all.

It is really cool that the vet who owns the practice has a cocker spaniel with partial paralysis. Himself and the other vet we often see were both on her case. The vets are extremely supportive of us for not wanting the back surgery (even the owner who is married to a vet didn't do it to his dog) but wanting her to live with her handicap. They have given us a lot of advice, suggestions and encouragement. We love our vets!
