We do have a slight issue with ticks and fleas. On and off they would reappear. Depending on how rapant the strays are on the street.
The vet also said it could be a tumor...but to my knowledge antibiotics shouldn't really have an impact on cancer.
She running around barking and playing etc as normal since the first shot about 2-3 weeks ago.

About 2-3 weeks ago we noticed that when she runs/walks she was drifting...it worsened a bit that she would be hitting the car due to her loss of balance. She couldn't balance on her two hind legs when she jumped up against a wall,she fell over on herself. She lost slight function in her jaw so eating and drinking was a bit difficult for her.
So we carried her to the vet. Said all her vitals etc were normal so he gave her a worm out shot and some antibiotics. She immediately showed improvements and she was back to normal within two days. In fact from that very same day she showed improvements. He perscribed some medication that she's on still to this day. I think it has about a week left of tablets etc. But shes completely normal now.
A few months ago probably around march or so she had bloodwork and scans done etc and it didnt show anything. This was because she was still calling even tho she was spayed. Turned out that a small piece of her whomb remained that had her slightly menstruating. That was rectified.
Anyone knows what could have been the cause of this? Anything I should look out for?
Thanks.

Battery of tests, they never found the problem. Finally one day she became totally paralyzed from the neck down. Vet theorized it was some sort of brain/ spinal issue but they couldn't do anything about it.

His vet is Kriyaan and he immediately knew the problem was a toad. I later discovered a huge toad sitting in his water bowl and eating his dog chow. I gave him charcoal tablets and now he's fine. In fact he and the toad are buddies.

Always good to have charcoal tablets around concerning your dog. Also Olive Oil. A spoonful should help them bring up anything they might have trouble digesting.

Dobe's are prone to a condition called Wobblers disease, happens when cervical vertebrae lose cartialge & the bones start to fuse together, putting pressure in the spinal cord in the neck. Not a good way to go out. It's genetic, & poor breeding is the primary cause.

BTW what tips you all have on dealing with a dog with Coprophagia (Dog eating toots). My rott is about the same age is the pitt and she have this condition since she a pup...never stopped. Other day it had some dog sheit in the yard and by the time I go for the shovel to clean it up it gone
She really slim too...but the vet say she's better that size because they prone to hip dysplasia.

You should have remedied this a long time ago, because now it's a learned habit she's developed so it will be harder to stop. But try this too.
Give the animal a thorough de-worming, & feed a proper ration of high quality food. try feeding 2-3 smaller rations throughout the day, clean up all stools as soon as they drop even remove the dog from the area they defecated. Rotties are healthy eaters. poor diet or not enough food especially if they have worms will have them constantly hungry & willing to eat literally anything.
And you keeping the animal slim because a vet told you they prone to hip dysplasia makes absolutely zero sense without confirming for sure if she actually is prone to it. unless the vet did x-rays of hips & knees & sent them to OFA for verification. Going forward, feed d dog a proper ration after a good de-worming, & start a de-worming regimen every 3 months for about 2 years should be sufficient.
