Listers, I can't begin to tell you the number of responses I have received on my post. Many of them I've returned personally but there are sooooo many!! You all have given me great food for thought. I feel much more secure about the fact that it may be an injury and not DM from what I have read. Chance will be going into the vet at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning for a full gambit of testing to make sure of what we are dealing with. Since we are showing respect for our lost GSD friends, I will not post any results until Tuesday. I just wanted to thank each and every one of you who responded with such knowledge and care. I have saved every one of your e-mails and will use them for reference once I know what we are dealing with. I do have to say I wasn't aware of dog chiropractors!! I use one myself every once in a while and it is a blessing. I will have to check our area to see what we have available (upstate NY). Thanks for everyone.
