Question Hi - New Member - Mom of Dixie

Our beautiful 5 1/2 yr. old cockapoo named Dixie has been diagnosed with disc problems. She weighs about 16 lbs. so is not overweight. She was at the vets for a week on steroids and other medication. They say she is better but her back left leg does not work well - put her on that leg with the toes bent back and she doesn't try to correct it as she does with the right rear leg. Having a hard time eliminating as she can't get into position and because of the Prednisone is peeing all of the time. We have to keep her from jumping, etc. Has anyone had any problems like this and if so what is the prognosis. Is there something else we should do besides let her back rest? Thanks for any help anyone has for her.
