Hi, I'm not familiar with this, but was wondering if possibly your dog had gotten something - perhaps a piece of chicken, or who knows what - that was infected with salmonella bacteria. Dogs can generally handle bacterial contamination that would lay a human out sick - like about ten times the level - but they are peculiarly susceptible to salmonella spp., and the vet can possibly check it out. One of the characteristic effects of salmonella poisoning in dogs is the paralysis. I hope she recovers, it's gonna be a long haul if it is salmonella, but a number can make it and be just fine. Good luck, Malcolm
