Paralysis of the Rear Legs

                  --------------------------



A disease resulting from vitamin B1 deficiency causes paralysis

of the rear legs and tail.  This problem is treated with

injectable B vitamins and dietary improvement, including

vitamin-mineral supplementation.  Rear limb paralysis may also

result from mineral (especially calcium) deficiencies that cause

fibrous osteodystrophy of the spinal column.  Injectable calcium

is also necessary in the therapy of this problem.
