Haven't posted here in quite some time. My Sheltie, Olive, is doing amazingly well. My post is actually related to my brother's new puppy, Laika (yes after the space dog!). Laika is a 15week old doberman. Her brother is her daddy and her mother is then also her grandmother, sort of. The breeder said they had an "accident" and so my brother has the puppy as they couldn't sell.
Anyway... Laika is displaying possible wobbler syndrome. She has very wobbly hind legs, almost buckling at times (she will fall and have difficulty getting back up). She urinates and defecates in her crate daily. She is not particularly alert or active although she does have a few toys she plays with on her own. She is fed in her crate and taken out at regular intervals. Most concerning, she will collapse and face-plant at random times. She also does the bunny-hop run (two hind legs together). None of this seems normal. Laika is up to date on all her shots. She'll be going to a vet this week. In the meantime I thought I would reach out to all of you for ideas. Anything would be appreciated!
