The owner wanted an opinion on what to know the prognosis of this Chihuahua that had been paralysed for over 1.5 years. X-rays of the lumbar spinal intervertebral discs showed no slipped disc. As there was some mis-communication, the cervical and thoracic intervertebral disc X-Ray was not given by the other vet. 

The dog had slipped disc in the cervical and thoracic discs leading to quadraparesis. I advised good home care nursing, hydration and feeding to help the dog live a longer life.  Euthanasia is not advised.
