Great news!  "Miss Carley" is doing much better, and the pups are doing great!  
The Vets never could tell us what was wrong with her.

I suspect it was a spinal cord infarct, i.e. a mini stroke in the spinal cord 
instead of the brain.  A few years ago, an elderly bitch of ours suffered a 
spinal cord infarct.  She became crippled in the blink of an eye.  Carley is a 
youngster, but I understand this can happen at any age.

Thanks again to the multitude of people who wrote to me with suggestions and 
encouragement.

A bitch, 3 weeks postpartum, *suddenly*  presents with severe stiffness in rear 
legs along with a stumbling gait and a slightly elevated temp.


She was taken to the emergency Vet and a complete blood count and chem-12 were 
run.  Absolutely no abnormalities.  X-rays were taken of her torso and rear.  
Once again, no abnormalities noted.

 I thought about tick paralysis, but no ticks were found on her.  (Of course, 
the tick could have fallen off.)

Tomorrow, she's going to our regular vet to have a tick panel run to test for 
Lymes and other tick-borne diseases.

We are VERY worried about our girl and are wondering if any of you have seen 
something like this.

Thanks in advance for any help/information you can give us.
