What are some of the signs preceding complete paralysis?
Dog owners have reported that their dogs were acting “strange” prior to paralysis. For example, your dog might refuse to get up. Or, your dog might seem to be in pain and/or guarding the injured area. In addition, you might notice that your dog is crossing his or her legs or walking like a drunken sailor. If you notice any of these types of behaviors, notify your veterinarian immediately!
