I would like some advice, I have had my 10 year old boxer to the vets today.
She has been stumbling on her back legs and sometimes stands with her toes curled under.
My vet says that this was _______ (god I can't remember the term) and that it is progressive and there is little we can do. She says it is to do with the nerves that control the back legs and that Bonnie does not allways know where her legs are.
Bonnie is very fit and still runs round like a two year old, my vets only suggestion was to prevent her from jumping up and to use an emn machine on her that we use on our other dog.
Does anyone know what this condition is called? and if their is any other help I can give her?
Anyone who has had any success with treatments, i would love to hear from you.
Thanks
