Anita,

So my dog Shelby is a mini dachshund.  She is 11.  I noticed her walking slower about 4-5 months ago and then she just slowly declined from there.  About 3 months ago we started different medications and nothing helped.  My vet thinks there is a pinched nerve on her L5-S1 area causing a major loss in neurological functioning.  She is not in pain and gets around mostly still with a bit of use in her back legs and goes to the bathroom with no problem.  I can’t afford surgery or injections.  (surgery may not even work and injections are costly and last a few months at best.)

So I have a wheelchair that she doesn’t want to use lol.  I’m waiting until it’s warmer to take her outside and work with her on it.  I’m also going to take her to the vet with it.  Right now it’s so cold we are kind of in limbo with it.

So the guy J.  I agree with everything you are saying.  Honestly, he’s asked me twice to visit and I’ve said no.  My anxiety prevents me from saying yes right know even if I wanted to say yes.  And honestly I’m not at a point where I would say yes.  I don’t even know this person; talking online or on social media doesn’t really allow you to get to know someone.  I think it allows that person to let you see what they want you to see.
