it definatly sounds right but the vet said her blood was fine, something was a little high but it wasnt anything like blood sugar or nething. nothing was low. also, there were no tumors. i could get her tested again though. shes using all of her legs but now, she mostly crawls, dragging her tummy or she can lift her back but not while shes walking. i wish i had more info. shes definatly high in spirits, she really really wants to play! ill get her tested for that again. thanks for helpin me out, i really hope we figure this out.
