QuestionI have a 105lb German Shorthair Pointer/Lab mix who is about 7 years old (I adopted him 3 years ago from the pound). I recently noticed that he has muscle spasms in his front legs where the leg attaches to the body. He doesn't seem uncomfortable or in pain, but I wanted to see if this could be a sign of a larger issue. He walks, runs, and jumps fine. I tend to see the spasms the most and strongest in the morning. Please help me so I can give my "baby" the right treatment. Thank you!
AnswerHi Jennifer! I would definately recommend a vet visit. This could be simple muscle spasms, a slight seizure disorder or a neurological disorder. Some blood work would be able to help pin point what exactly is going on with him.
I wish I could give you a diagnosis, but muscle spasms can vary from being really nothing, to being a symptom of a bigger problem. Please let me know what your veterinarian decided and give your baby some kisses for me!
