Interesting..........I'll research into Degenerative Myelopathy and hypothyroidism. Thanks for the information. Got to go to the vets with one of my hounds shortly so Ill take Snowy along too and mention about his hind legs shaking for peace of mind.
And yes we do take a bed for him or he takes time out in the back of our 4 x 4.
This surprises me...........I have him on a joint suppliment anyway.
Muscle tiredness sounds plausable......yes, we don't stop all day since he started not enjoying them as much anymore.
No he's not a nervous dog by any means, sensitive maybe......
Thanks we'll get to the bottom of it...........at the end of the day if it's his way of telling us he's had enough now we'll just leave him at home and take a kennel dog. After all he IS retired
Yes I do massage his legs and walk him round slowly and gently, this does seem to help.
Think I'd already made my mind up to be select with how often and where we go now, and monitor how long he stands, because he really does love meeting other greys and loves people.
But I am going to mention it to my vet even if it appears I'm an over reacting Mum [which I probably am]
Thanks everyone for your input.
