QuestionI have a 11 year old Keeshond dog that has started to shake in the back legs, also sometimes hard to get up. The problem started about a year ago. Is this just due to old age? thanks.
AnswerHi Jason,
If you have absolutely ruled out being hit by a car or any other kind of accident.........
Your Keeshond may have hip dysplasia, but it's hard to say just by your description. It may also be severe arthritis. I would definetly take him/her to a veterinarian. Yes, the age does have something to do with it, but treatment may make a big difference. I hope you will at least take him/her to a vet to see exactly what you are dealing with.
