Yamaha_gurl Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yesterday after work I took Bella outside for a pee and about 2 minutes into walking around the yard, her back legs started to shake pretty bad, and she started to sort of sit, almost like falling down. I quickly lifted her onto the steps of our patio and back into the house, the moment she walked in she was fine...trotted perfectly to her bed. I'm thinking perhaps it was due to the cold? It was about -12 degrees here in Ontario, but she was wearing a double fleece layer coat. Ideas/ thoughts? She's perfectly fine now, and did her business outside this morning with no issues.

Guest mbfilby Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's been hovering near -30 here recently. Cy does almost the same thing due to the cold. Back legs shivering.. trying to get his paws off the snow.. etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissy Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Maybe her feet were cold? Could you try boots and see if that helps? Or leg warmers? I use my own arm warmers on Summit sometimes, but planning on trying to have some made (or make my own... hand sewn) so they stay on better. I've just been using elastics to keep them on.

Guest PhillyPups Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 It sounds like her feet were cold and got the rest of her shivering badly. Did she get any snow in her pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamaha_gurl Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Shes find with snow in her feet, it was just that it was more of an extreme shake, then a cold shake. I'm going to sew up some leg warmers Quote Greyhound Collars : www.collartown.ca Maggie (the human servant), with Miss Bella, racing name "A Star Blackieto" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
