Sudden Brief Leg Trembling

[christinepi]

Tracker is 10, and has had some minor hind leg trembling issues when lifting one leg to pee or when standing around for too long. Sometimes that happens in the front, but rarely. We just went out for a brief potty walk, no running or anything strenuous at all. When he waited in front of our door while I was picking up his paws to clean them with him standing on all fours, his legs started trembling all of a sudden, and all four of them. He clearly was a bit unsteady, which is no surprise when your legs turn to butter, I guess. Within 15 seconds or so the whole thing was over, he walked normally into the house and continued his nap. Any thoughts on what that may have been? He's never had this before, and never was diagnosed with epilepsy.

LS is common for older boys (lumbosacral stenosis). Have you ever noticed if his back end begins to sag at all if standing for a long period of time? Is there any tripping or dragging the back feet on walks? Doncha hate getting old?

No, no back end sagging or tripping (no more than the usual klutziness) or dragging the back legs. Yet, anyway. Yeah, I resent getting old, too, for him and for myself. All these aches and pains...

Sheba is 9 now and started having some trembling a while ago when she is overly active. Nothing serious and no other signs, so I consider it part of aging, sigh.
