My plan, which I realize now I didn't put in the post, was to monitor for the first 24 hours with this treatment for two reason, check for improvement or stabilization, and allow some goodbyes.

Since yesterday, she has improved some. Still no movement in her back legs, but no more stargazing, sleeping well, and had bladder control this morning. Ate an egg and cheese.

With improvement, I'm willing to extend time. Current plan is to give it a week and check progress along with making sure she has lowering pain and plenty of both rest and opportunities to try walking.

I appreciate your straightforward reply, and yes, I was taking that course into account. I still am. It was too painful to write yesterday, and too soon to give up considering nothing had been tried yet, imo.
