YorkieTalk Newbie! | puppy walking sideways hi, i am new to this whole posting thing and have a few questions about my puppy. the first is that when he walks it seems like his back end is trying to catch up to his front legs. he almost walks completely sideways. and favors the left. Is this normal or could there be something wrong with his hips? |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | No it is not normal and it's called "circling" which unfortunately is a symptom of liver shunt. Portosystemic Shunts FAQ I'd highly advise you to have a bile acid test done and the results of that would determine whether additional testing is necessary. Good luck.
