Hi guys,
Looking for a bit of advice. Today my dog scared the shit out of me. I was bathing her (she has bad allergies) and suddenly it seemed as if her legs sort of buckled. She didn’t fall, just sort of sunk down a bit and then five seconds or so later was fine. She didn’t seem painful or anything but it was really scary. She’s completely normal now, running around the house and barking and playing.
Now, she has been having another weird problem with her butt? She’s been licking her privates excessively and then sometimes she’ll leap off the couch in a panic and look at her rear/nub tail as if she’s hurt. I don’t know if this could somehow be related. Her vet did say she has slight arthritis in some rear vertebrae but that it’s normal for large breeds. Again, don’t know if that could be related.
She’s a four year old Doberman. She’s incontinent (controlled with Proin), has allergies, and because of this is on a fish only diet. I’ll be taking her back to the vet ASAP but I just wanted some opinions in the meantime because I assume it will be a few days.
