    Our experience was mostly silent. Ridgid. Spine curled backwards. Eyes unfocused unseeing. Sometimes drooling.

    We would get her into a soft spot like a bed or towel. Don’t go before the paralysis is set - you might get bit. The comedown is also hard. Soothing voice. Gentle touch. Let it run it’s course.

    The medication was a simple salt solution, potassium something?

    Does that help?

      Thanks for your response. I’m glad your dog was in your hands.

      And yes, your answers help me have a clearer idea of what the experience can be like and what can be done. Thanks.
