Our 5.5 year old mini dachshund was diagnosed with intervertebral disease last Friday. That prescribed meloxicam, methocarbomal, and gabapentin. Also lots of rest.
She seemed to do better for a few days, but now suddenly is having apparent weakness in her back legs. She's very hesitant to walk or go up steps. When she does walk, it's very crooked and her rear end keeps collapsing.
We just need to give the rest and meds more time or is this a sign of something more urgent?
