[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1397811, member: 25884"] There would have been alot of pressure on her spine, the nerves, and all the muscles. The steroid should help. If she is eating, make sure she does a bowel movement, and should hopefully see signs of urination. Then I'd give her at least 24-48 hours. Do you have a tractor with a front end loader that you can get a sling under her if she tries? We had one we had to help up a couple of times before she finally got all the feeling and use of her legs back and she was a bit wobbly for a few days but then did okay. A hip lift like they use for dairy cattle is last choice but still might help her to get up and then she ought to stablize. It all depends on if she "wants" to. Sometimes they just give up trying. What's the vet saying? [/QUOTE]
