Early intervention is key in possibly avoiding paralysis. Ask your veterinarian about treating your dog with steroids and crate rest. Many dogs do recover if they are just given ample rest and time for their bodies to heal. You might also check to see if anyone in your area does acupuncture on dogs. My dog is on crate rest for the next 4 weeks.
Steroids often help a dog to feel better before they have really had sufficient time to heal.
As your dog feels better, she may want to run or jump or move in other ways that could cause even more damage. It is very important to keep her as quiet as possible until her body is truly healed. A special chew toy may help to relieve some of her boredom and make her a happier pooch. My dog had back surgery but it doesn't appear to have been successful. There are several companies that specialize in restoring mobility to paralyzed pets.
