Boston didn't have any appointments until 2 weeks, we could go to the emergency room and hopefully see a neurologist.
Found a place in RI that has an appointment for tommorrow at 10am. In the meantime they recommend forcing pedialite down her. Don't think they will have beef flavored. rkc

My Sasha had hip displacia, and in her final year she couldn't walk on her hind legs. I made a sling for her out of an old bath towel and some straps. Went around her belly and I could lift her rear up so she could walk using her front legs with me carrying her rear legs. It kept her from peeing or pooping on herself. You might want to try the same kind of thing with Baily. I know it's a different illness, but the results are the same... it will ease the going to the bathroom process, and at the same time will give a steady support. I'm really sorry you and your friend are going thru this RKC... Hang in there. Wishing all the best for you guys tomorrow.

When she was down on her back my Hershey girl had store bought sling like you described. She basically had no use of her rear legs for a couple months and without the sling I don't know how in the world she could've done her business. Amazing how she adapted to the sling as well.

She has multiple abnormalities in her brain, most likely lymphoma. She will hopefully respond to meds and maybe have 6-8 months.
And yes, I was using a sling like that earlier in the week. I'm pretty sad... rkc

She was out of it today, no tail wag, not eating, not really there. She was getting worse every day, chemo would take days to see results if any.
We put her to rest.

Dogs have always like me, for the most part I can go up to the most nasty dog and win them over. I have had dogs my whole life and when I don't have one I miss them and wish I had one close by. I have said this in past posts, but we keep pets here for us. All a pet knows it they hurt.... You have to do the right thing for the dog and some times it's a hard decision.
You know the right road to take and I know you will make the right choice.
