Thanks for all your kind words about Raddy. Today (Monday) she is doing much better, we've kept her quiet and no walks. She's getting up with out any assistance and going out in the back yard to watch for lizards and her ferocious appetite has returned. At 13 she isn't going to be running any marathons but she appears to be about 99% of what she was before the problem started.
Whitney our rescue dog has been by her side all the time and Raddy started to play with her a little so I'm sure she's feeling much better.
Thanks to all of you for taking the time to reply.

Had some country style ribs occupying valuable space in the freezer along with a whole chicken decided to do both.
With the ribs I wanted to try something different from what I usually do. I coated them with Dizzy Pig Raging River Rub and smoked them with almond and cherry on the mini for about two hours at 220.
I then made a mixture of apple juice, Weber’s Buzz’ n Honey BBQ sauce and a tbs. of Weber’s Smokey Mesquite rub and ½ chopped onion. Into a covered pan and simmered on the E320 gasser for two hours.
Served with grilled corn on the bone and a small salad.
The ribs were great!
The chicken was done plain on the Weber Gasser Kettle for future meals.
Sorry no plated pictures and here’s why.
Barb brought our 13 year old Golden Retriever Raddy home from the groomers at 2pm and she couldn’t walk, her hind legs were collapsing on her. Once she laid down she couldn’t get up on her own.
At 4:30 we were able to get her up to eat and go outside for a potty stop. She came in and laid down and didn’t move until 6am this morning when I helped her get up.
The good news is she was able to get up on her own for her breakfast and walked to the back door to go out. It’s now 9:30 and she seems to be doing much better still struggles a little bit to get up but is mobile enough to go where she wants. Hopefully it was the fact we took a long walk yesterday and also she probably was on her feet for hours at the groomers, too much strain for the old pup.
It was a scary sleepless night for both Barb and I.
