Question
Little Bit
My 18 year old 9.5 lb miniature schnauzer (Little Bit)has been diagnosed to have Spinal Stenosis. His only symptom right now is weakness in his legs. Due to his age - surgery is out of the question. I would welcome any guidance on what I can do to help my dearest friend and companion. Please advise.

Let me start by saying how gorgeous Little Bit looks - very handsome indeed. And 18 - that's a great age!
He must be very well cared for indeed.
Spinal Stenosis is difficult as is it basically the narrowing of the spinal canal, so the spinal nerves get damaged. Surgery is usually the best option, but I completely understand in your case that this is out of the question.
I would find someone in your area who performs Cranio-Sacral Therapy and book him in for regular visits. Also acupuncture could be beneficial.
You could also try keeping him on Robert McDowell's canine Nerve regeneration herbal blend for a couple of months to see if that prevents further damage: www.herbal-treatments.com
Keep him hydrated - make sure he is drinking his water. Also give him some flax-seed oil with his meals (approx 1 teaspoon per day).
You may also want to try him on some Nano-Magnesium (Essence of Life products) available from: http://www.glnau.com
Magnesium is essential and is often lacking. The chief function of magnesium is to activate certain enzymes, especially those related to carbohydrate metabolism. Another role is to maintain the electrical potential across nerve and muscle membranes. It is essential for proper heartbeat and nerve transmission.
With the magnesium, as well as the herbal nerve regeneration, make sure to always follow directions exactly. More is not better and can result in Little Bit feeling nauseated.
I hope this has been helpful.
All the best to you both.
Thanks,
Silva.
