Lil' Scrappy

On Thursday we noticed Scrappy (the wiener dog) was whining a lot. We thought he'd eaten something nasty like a diaper because you never know with him, so we took the dogs on a walk and he was able to poop, but was a little slow in walking/running. After we were home for a little while we noticed he couldn't walk very well and started shaking really bad. Then that night Garrett and I both woke up in the night because Grace woke up and we couldn't find Scrappy. He went downstairs to poop again and wasn't able to get back up the stairs and couldn't use his back legs. In the morning Garrett took him to the vet and he got a steroid injection and some tramadol and said he's probably got a compressed spinal nerve and placed him on crate rest for about 6 weeks. The vet says many times after the 6 weeks most dogs regain 80-90% of their previous function. Poor little boy!
