Just back from the vet. Apparently, it's low grade paralysis. There's no laboured breathing or chest problems, but not much of a gag reflex.
Serum is $550 and is not "guaranteed" so to speak. Apparently it's made for dog from dogs blood. She said it was like a mini blood transfusion. It also may not work or make things worse.
For now, while we decide, he's up at the vet, resting. To see if he makes any good progress.
While we were at the vet, he tried to jump for it off the exam table, which is something he wouldn't have tried yesterday or sunday. So I think he's made progress since then. Can use his back legs a bit better today too.
So this afternoon dh will get a call. If he's made no progess (or little progress), we're going to be asked to give him the serum. I just don't have that kind of money, and am finding it difficult to know what to decide...
