Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Im abit concerned about my recently rehomed grey.... was out this morning - no problems..had a good run on a couple of early morning bunnies with my bitch. Got home - breakfast - raw steak - mixer with abit of water and gravy. Mucked out kennels and gave muts the run of garden in the sun. Been out there for an hour sunbathing - just been out and he seems to be all disorientated, shaking and trembling....un co-ordinated on his feet, like an arthritic old dog on his last legs........ He's seems rather quiet. I and I cannot think what an earth this could be - whether he's trapped a nerve galloping this morning or whilst layed on the patio. Any clues????? - what this could this be a syptom of?... Naturally he'l be away to the vets if he there's no improvement..................never come across this before - Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 It happened to my dog after the one & only propper run she has had since having her, i put it down to her being unfit & it was a tad warm, she crawled home at a snails pace, i made her some sweet tea , as i pannic over the dog fullstop it did worry me, but after an hour or so she calmed down, stopped panting & settled Quote Link to post Share on other sites
