smurfette Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Some days ago I saw that Andy scraped the nails on his back feet on the street during walkies. I took him to his physiotherapist because I thought it had something to so with his hips - sacroiliac joints blockade, I thought. But she discovered that he has no reflexes in both patellas - has to be spine related. We don't think it is a real prolapse because he can do potty just fine. So we try physiotherapy, holistic medicine and some light dose of anti-inflammation painkiller. In the evening he walked much better, could even do the stairs to sleep in our bedroom all by himself (I always thought he needed help with the stairs because he slipped on them some time ago). Has someone experienced something like this with their grey? Edited June 17, 2017 by smurfette Quote Sorry for butchering the english language. I try to keep the mistakes to a minimum.

greysmom Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sounds a bit like Lumbosacral Stenosis. Has he had spinal xrays done?

smurfette Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 No. Our vet gave us the anti-inflammation painkillers and said we should try them for 3 weeks and after that lower the dose. I have an appointment with Paddy next week and will ask her about lumbosacral stenosis and x-rays for I have never experienced something like this before.
