nemo had similar symtoms just after we adopted him. he lost nearly all use in his back legs. the vet put it down to a back injury but to this day we dont know what caused it . the vet wasnt too optomistic but put him on anti inflamatory a,painkiller and baytril and within a week he was looking better . it took about a month before his symptoms went alltogether but he is now fine . we do have to watch him in cold weather as he stiffens up a bit which is one reason why he s now a house a bun and he still hasnt got full balance when hes grooming the awkward to reach bits.

I had a similiar problem with a bun about a year ago, she was a stray. One morning I noticed that she seemed very stiff in her back legs, this got worse over the nex week until she was literally dragging her hind legs. On the first visit to the vets said to observe it, then when things got worse she had a course of 3 steroid injections. After the second injection we started to notice signs of improvement which continued until she was back to normal. The vet did question if she had jumped off something and injured her back or whether she had a prolapsed intravertebral disc.
