Sometimes I do detect a little wobble in his walk but he is active again and his appetite is back to normal. I too worried about having to put him down. We seem to have dodged that bullet though. Good luck.
Thanks so much for posting your dog's experience with this awful disease. I'm so glad to hear that your dog is doing better. We were told by the Vet today that each dog's recovery is different and encouraged us to get our dog "moving" more. She has been reluctant to do any walking so we're working on "physical therapy" right now and get her out and walking. I am happy to report that our dog's appetite is good, too, but only time will tell.
