Our ten-year-old golden retriever has been experiencing skin problems, swelling near her nose, and swelling on her paws, particularly her front paws. She was on an antibiotic and is currently taking 40 mg of prednisone twice daily. She seemed to be improving, but suddenly became largely unable to use her back legs. What could be causing this sudden hind end weakness, and what should we do?
