L Need Some Advice Re My Gsd

[Tilly2]

When they do go off their back legs, how do you get them into the back of the car to get them to the vets? My g
irl seemed to be doing well on her tablets but today she is having trouble getting up, literally dragging herself along the floor. She has got to her feet and fallen over twice this evening. I rang the vet earlier today who said she must have been overdoing it because she felt better and to let her rest.
I am afraid that tomorrow she won't be able to stand up.
How will we get her in the car, put a blanket under her and lift her?
Any good ideas?
I may resort to getting the vet to come to the house.

Hope you won't think I am making light of this problem with your dear girl, but when you explain about her back end collapsing the thought of wheels springs to my mind, do you have or could borrow something like a skate board to get under her then you could wheel her up the ramp.

Hi everyone. We got here to the vets but walking her up the ramp but holding her back end up. The vet met us in the car park and we were able to lift her out.
She has either a slipped disc or a degenerative nerve problem. She has to go to another practice for an MRI scan/consultation with neurologist.
She was given some really strong painkillers and has spent the last two days sleeping and resting.
I think this is the beginning of a traumatic time for us (and her) I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you all for your responses and your concern.

Always good to know the vets are doing their best. I get cross when people won't take their pets to the vet in case its bad news.

Good news Tilly, well in a round about way but I hope you know what I mean. Look after your girl and yourself. Brenda x
