Early Signs Of Wobblers?


 Share

Recommended Posts

I have posted about river before, when he went lame in one of his back legs for a couple of days. This led to me taking him for x-rays which showed elbow dysplasia (he has had arthroscopy performed on both his elbows now).

Something I read about in a book prompted me to do some more searching which lead me to wobblers syndrome. Some of the early signs of this that river has is

*scuffing his back feet across the floor when he walks

*downward flexed neck (when standing or sitting he holds his head considerably lower then gem, my other lab

*hesistancy to change positions, i.e. he always takes longer to sit when I ask him, again, compared to other dogs I have known

*when he is excited (which is when this is most obvious to me) he doesn't seem to have total control of his back legs, he doesn't fall down or anything, but they kind of flick about in a weird way

Can someone please recommend who I can take him to (I live on the Central Coast in NSW), an orthopedic vet/practitioner? Someone who has been involved with Gold Bead Therapy would be good, as if it turns out he is in the early symptoms, this is something I would serisouly consider getting done for him.

Any advice, past experience, help greatly appreciated!!
