| The vet mentioned that a dog doesnt necessarily need to be bitten to have this condition. i guess a number of things can spark this. he said it is called coonhound becuase coon hunting dogs were the 1st to catch this. he did say he isnt 100% positive of what it is. he originally thought tick paralysis, but, no tick was found and he was given a flea/tick bath on monday night. if tick paralysis, the dog normally should have fully recovered within 12-24 hours after tick removal.
he said that if it were spinal, and, he lost control of all 4 legs, that the problem would have to be in his head or neck. he stated if in his head, his mouth, ear, eye functions would be affected, which they're not, and if in his neck, he would be in great pain while performing a series of strechting tests to his neck. also, stated that if a spinal problem, he should have feeling in his paws which he does. does this sound correct? |
