Perfecto

I'm wondering if anyone out in the blogosphere may know anything about my dog's ailment.

Sugar Mama and I have a wonderful dog (code-)named Perfecto. Last Spring he came down with a mysterious nervous system ailment. It was peripheral, so only his legs were affected. The onset was sudden. Within the course of a day he went from normal to paralysed. He has steadily improved in the past 8 months, but is still only 80%. Unfortunately, we have no reliable diagnosis. The affect of the ailment was to all limbs, but his left side has been slower to recover than his right. And his front limbs came back much slower than the back ones. No limb is yet 100%. It has been deemed too "general" to be a stroke. Various nerve diseases have been mentioned (including the dog version of Guillian-Barre syndrome). Nothing quite fits his case, though. So I thought I'd throw this out to the ether and see if anyone else has dealt with some form of paralysis + recovery in their pet.
