She has probably ruptured some disc or possibly vertebrae. She needs an anti-inflammatory, and x-rays will not show the problem :-( The problem is that if the spinal cord is compressed for a certain amount of time, the damage is permanent and possibly deadly. If the spinal cord starts to die, the only option will be to put her down, because all organs will start shutting down. I am so sorry to hear this, it reminds me of what I went through with Pita. :-( --em
