Our dog had something very similar affect her...started walking backwards and couldnt stop herself. Once she backed into the stairway and if I hadnt been right there she was going all the way down. Let me tell you it was scary as hell and so heartbreaking to see.
Last desperate measure by the vets who simply had no idea was to get her on pretty strong doses of predizone, and it worked. It reversed itself after about 2 months.... and a gradual weaning of the steroids.
This is just awful for this poor woman, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is very much real.
