Coming from a massive dog lover (aka a soppy sod) i'm glad she's on the mend.
Whenever our's is off his food we panic so to have this happen to you is very sad.
Same for you Urban,nobody should have to go through that mate - poor thing.

cheers guys and gals.
She has lost a lot of weight and I think this is not helping her unsteadyness on her back legs. She wasnt big to start with so now she looks very skinny.
She is on some Hills food for a few days which helps to settle her stomach, and also some beef probiotic paste a few tmes a day which replaces bacteria in the gut. she is very tired (alseep next to me on the couch!) but has managed a bit of playtime last night for a while playing tug, however she didnt have her usual strength however I am sure that will return.
She has been sick though twice since we have had her back and it is roughly a few hours after feeding, so I have fed her a bit this morning and I will see wha happens. If she is sick again, I will be back to the vets.
Will try to post a piccy later of he poor thing!

yes sorry. She appears to be up and down. Gonna go back the vets tomorrow as she was on antibiotics however they stopped them as they said there was no infection. However after watching her tonight I think she has got a water infection due to the frequency she is going. Also she is not doing many stools and seems constipated so want to get that checked out.
She had a checkup on wednesday at our normal vets and he was really pleased with her progress, he actually admitted that he didnt think she would make it
Her back legs are more or less back to normal, and when you play tug she is getting stronger.
Wil update tomorrow/today when we have been the vets and will defo get a piccy of her

Hope all goes well at the vets and try to keep your chin up,however hard it may be.
At least the vet was happy with her progress especially admitting that he thought she wouldn't make it.

little update,
She has now got a lot more energy and is becoming a little pain again with her mischieve. She is walking okay, and has regained strength when playing tug.
Would I have it any other way? No
I have also got some antibiotics for her as well which seems to coincide with her picking up.
We have a follow up visit to the vets tomorrow so hopefully all will be well.
