Thanks girls.
Yes Lolly I was worried about her in Sheffield, but we had no idea how bad she would get so quickly, mind T still wouldn´t have told me the full extent so I was right he would hide it.
We have thought of the trolley idea and may look at that for walks, although he strap is good because it encourages her to use her legs without putting strain on them. We couldn´t leave wheels on her in the house because she is epileptic and it could do more damage during a fit. Might look at getting her a pushchair or similar so when her little legs have had enough she can ride. That way she can still have the long "walks" with us and not put strain on my back having to be carried

We seem to have taken 2steps forward and a leap back. Having had 3 fits yesterday it´s hard to see any progress at all today, She always loses bowel and bladder during a fit, so she is not needing to go when we take her out, so we can´t tell if all that is working correct. She hasn´t worried at her paws in the night, that sounds good (and it is) but chewing at them means there is feeling in them.

She is very bright eyed and alert this morning, even if she hasn´t moved to say goodmorning to me yet. Infact she hasn´t moved from where she settled at 4.15am apart changing positions.

It´s very hard to see what will be the future.

At least my hall runner is clean as it´s in the wash for the 3rd time in 22hrs. :-D ;-) :-|

I need today to be fit free so that she has time to recover from yesterday and take another few steps forward before 6pm Monday.
fingers crossed xx

After another fit yesterday I was beginning to fear the worst, even when OH came in and with her little smiley face she tried to greet him. We talked over what would happen today (Monday).
Minx was giving little whiney noises so we decided she wanted to go out. Coffee left, out we went. She didn´t do to well with the strap to start with so was carried a little way, but when put down she then headed off to the bar. !!!! Oh she knows us so well :-D. We went to a new place and got her settle on the floor and removed the strap (scarf) . next thing she was off >>>>> round the table and chairs, into corners and back again. Myself and OH must have looked a right pair, like a couple of new parents watching their baby walk for the 1st time, with tears pouring down our faces. :-D. She came all the way back (with support) on her own, refusing to be carried.
Last night she was back to shuffling about on her bum.
A complete revision on thoughts.

This morning my 1st smile of the day was when sat on the loo a little furry Minxy face stared round the corner (as she used to do ! ) she had made it all the way down the hall under her own steam on her legs. For the rest of the day she has followed me about :-D :-D. Sometimes as upright as she can get and others with a shuffle.

We still seem to have a major problem with bowel and bladder control. which is a major, major worry. her bad leg is still not taking any weight and her good leg is giving out very quickly, But I am not afraid to go back to the vets this evening :-D :-D :-D We are far from out of the woods yet, and we are still not off the danger list.

There is hope though.more than yesterday and much more than Saturday. :-D :-D :-D. Now we have to see what the vet says ! :-(

Yeahhhh :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Minx is off daily injections for 2 days to see how her bladder and bowel control gets on and also to see how the original 2 wk injection is coping.
We are much more mobile today even if it is a shuffle, run, stop routine. last night she asked to go out, it was 4am but who cares, she knew she needed to go :-D :-D
We have also lost 0.3k in weight (Minx that is not me ! )

Still not out of the woods yet but the trees are getting thinner ;-) <3
Next vet visit Wednesday evening. :-|
