 Advice
For the past 2 days, when Rowdy gets up from his afternoon nap (about 2-3 hours long), his back legs seem to be weak. He doesn't seem to be in any pain when he walks and upon examination and movement of the back legs, he doesn't seem to have any pain. He seems weak though, like when he jumps up on the 8 inch step from the den to the living room - it's like he doesn't have enough "jump" power in his back legs. Also, the longer he is up and around, the better he moves and after about an hour, he is absolutely back to normal. It's almost like his legs go to sleep and it takes them a while to wake up. I noticed it yesterday after his nap and I was thinking that maybe he just slept wrong and his leg(s) were asleep or numb feeling. But then I noticed it again today, so I know something is amiss. I did not notice it this morning when he got up - but then I'm rushing around to go to work and maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention. I'm definitely taking him to the vet, but I wondered if anyone had any experiences like this. |
