My special family member is a 12 year old terry poo named Oliver. I was taking my boy out and suddenly he could no longer walk on his back legs. I took him to the vet and was told he would have no quality of life since he couldn't walk because his legs were paralyzed from a disc problem.
He gave me prednisone and sent me home with the thought that if the pills didn't work, we would have to put him down.
