Your vet could be right and it could be an injury. HOWEVER... IF it was a
wood tick (as opposed to a deer tick) it could be that as well. Wood ticks
can cause what is known as "tick paralysis". Did the vet do any tests?
Bloodwork, xrays? Anything? Or is he just guessing?

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Weirdest thing!!!
I hope maybe someone on the list can offer some advice or have some ideas
about my dog. About 4 days ago, my husband noticed my dog whinning when he
moved. The next day, we took him on a trip and when we reached the
destination, we let him out (1 hour drive) and he could hardly walk. It was
like he had lost total control of his back end. He was dragging it around
and his toes draggin on the ground as well. We called our vet ASAP and got
him in. Our vet has been right on every diagnosis so far. He did not seem
so concerned. He said that the dog had injured himself and that he had some
inflamation in the back, and it was pressing on the spine and vertebrae.
He gave him an anti inflamatory and sent us home with some anti inflamatory
pills for 5 days. He seems to have improved but I am worried sick, it is
not him. He just does not seem to be himself. The vet said to put him on
total rest which we have, and so far he seems to be doing ok. But he still
drags one toe.
It is weird because he went from running after his squeaky to not moving
hardly at all. He is 8 years old and been healthy as can be. He also had a
tick and I asked the vet about that but he said no. Does anyone on the list
have any experience with this type of thing at all? I am worried sick.
