What can cause sudden paralysis in hind legs of a dog and then be cured by a steroid and muscle relaxer within 12 hours?

While I am not a vet, I would be inclined to suggest finding a local holistic practitioner. My reiki provider does energy work on pets as well as humans. I also know massage therapists who could possibly help with neuromuscular issues and work on pets.

So consider those options along with what ever your vet suggests.

Can you take shingles vaccine after getting steroid injection?

I checked with my pharmacist and the answer is NO. I need to stop taking valtrex for 30 days and then get the shot.

That said, an incident or 2 of herpes is tolerable to the possibility of getting shingles. Shingles has a higher pain and inconvenience factor than a herpes break out. That is my humble opinion.
