Possible Health Issue Hello everyone, I am posting this for my mother's dog, Maxim, who has a 6.5 pound Yorkie, almost two years old. She said that she recently started noticing that sometimes when he is standing still and goes to take a step forward, he staggers, and then is fine. She said his eyes are always focused, so he is not taking a seizure. Also, she notices that his legs tremble when he goes to sit down and sometimes when he stands up, but other than that he is fine, and will run, jump, and play with her other two dogs. She is going to schedule an appointment with the vet, but does this sound like something she should be going to a specialist for? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you! |
I would start with your regular vet and basic blood tests and exam. If he is trembling every time he sits down, that doesn't sound neurological. It could be something minor like anal glands, or it could be something serious like an injury. I would see the vet sooner than later. Relative to seizures, keep in mind that not all seizures symptoms are alike. Sometimes it looks like the dog is focused, eyes fixed forward on something. However, if you were to squeak a toy near the dog, the dog would not take note of it. |
It certainly sounds abnormal. Hope she gets a good check up including blood work. |
I hope the little guy is okay...that it is a minor issue, and everything is back to normal soon! :) |
