My dog started falling all over the place because of his weak hind legs. We took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with diabetes. He hasn't walked in 3 days and I believe he has diabetes neuropathy, I looked on the internet and it says it's common in cats but can sometimes happen to dogs (I guess we are one of the few dog owners to go through this). Has anyone else experience this? will he walk again after we get his diabetes in check? any info will be helpful.

As far as I know, neuropathy is not reversible.
However, have has the dog been to the vet since he became completely unable to walk? The vet would be the best source of information on the prognosis.

I'm speaking more general physiology than canine physiology, but most of it should be applicable to dogs.
Heightened blood glucose can lead to a lot of symptoms and affect the body severely. Diabetic neuropathy is not a reversable condition in adults, since nerves do not generally repair themselves in adult individuals. But heightened blood glucose can lead to a lot of other symptoms including muscle fatigue and general drowsyness. When you get his diabetes in check, he might start to walk again, but as you say, it might be a neuropathy.. You might want to check his back feet and paws, is he tickly? Check if you can find areas where he doesn't seem to have any sensations of touch or a pinprick.
I'm crossing my fingers for you! Hope it'll turn out all right. The vet should be able to give you more info, tell him that he suspects a neuropathy.

My mother was a diabetic and was on dialysis for 18 months before she passed away she suffered with it terribly she used a cream that was made from hot chili peppers that you could by over the counter that helped her some. You can get it at Walgreen's or Wal-mart's. My Aunt has it which is my mothers sister she has it in her feet, legs, and arms. She has also used this cream try asking your pharmacist about it. And yes to the other question about falls I do believe that it makes them more feeble causing them to fall because Right after they got neuropathy they started to fall. Hope I helped you and I will keep you in my prayers.

Don't believe everything you read on the net - in fact to be on the safe side, don't believe any of it. Direct these questions at your vet for the most accurate and helpful info. You don't have to wait for your next visit, just pick up the phone.
It may be the the dog's diabetes was secondary to another condition like Cushing's disease, which has many other symptoms. What is this? Ask your vet.
