I apologize for taking so long to update you guys. We spent about 2 hours at our vet, and then had to go see a back surgery specialist, and we sat there for about 3 hours waiting to go into our consultation. She's staying overnight at our vet and then we're going to get some sort of test done on her tomorrow morning (A mylogram I think it was called, but am not sure). We would have gotten that done today, but they said that we'd have to wait until tomorrow. We don't know what the outcome will be as of yet. We can put her through surgery, but the vet/specialist said it's doubtful that she'll be able to run, jump, and play properly again (and that is her life - it's all she lives for). Currently all we know is that she's slipped at least one disc, maybe blew another. The X-ray couldn't show a whole lot. I'll definitely update again once I know more. She's in a ton of pain right now (which means there is probably something else going on - because if she was simply paralyzed, she wouldn't be able to feel much). She bit my mom, our vet, and my dad today. Something she'd never even think about doing normally. Oh, and our vet thinks it's partly herditary and because she's such an active, energetic dog, she could have easily done it by chasing her ball like she normally does.
Thankyou for all of your well wishes and such. They mean a lot to me.
ETA: Here are two pictures I took of her earlier:
We're going to do absolutely everything we can for her, and give her the best chance possible.
