Colliewood Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi, Just wondering if anyone may know what I am asking about. I have a dog close to where we live. A male GSP approx 2-3 years old. He was diagnosed at least a year ago, maybe more, with a neurological disorder. I do not know the name but was hoping that if I gave some detail someone here might have an educated guess. I can only liken it to Cerebal Palsy type body movements or Parkinsons and almost a fit. He does not stand straight upright, he is always twisted in the body somehow, like a muscle spasm. It is really difficult to watch this dog. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I see him. I was told by the owner some time ago he was not in any pain but you have to wonder as his body is completely unco-ordinated. Also, the owner is not what I consider to be a good one even in a dog without these extra needs. I really struggle with his attitude towards the dog to start with. I know I have not given you much but hope someone understands my waffle. ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puglvr Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 He could very well have what is called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. We had a little pug with this and it was very much like Cerebral Palsy. She wasn't to badly afffected and had a "funny" gait but was otherwise fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
