Back Leg Weakness?


Hollis

Recommended Posts

Help. Please.

Norms back legs are not cooperating this morning. If he stands too long, he'll sometimes sink. We had to help him out to pee and poop. Dot had to use a towel to hold him up to poop.

 

He's eating and drinking and sleeping and everything else. His legs just don't want to work. It's like he's tripping all the time.

 

We have an appt at 11:45. Please keep us in your prayers. I'm not ready to say good bye.

It sounds much like how my mother's boy's legs acted when he had LS ... Though, he could manage to take care of his 'business' on his own... but .. if he stood still too long, his legs would just sorta sink. As long as he was moving - even trotting at times - he seemed to be ok. Just couldn't seem to hold himself up if he stood still. He did get the depo shots on occasion and they seemed to help some for a while.

 

Hopefully it will be something similar and nothing more serious with Norm.

 

Good luck .. hugs to all...

Good thoughts for Norm. Our Shelby is experiencing the very same and we have her on Gabapentin which helps but is not a cure.
