chevorne Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I overhead at the vet yesterday someone talking about the Wobbles, and the dogs being known as Wobblers. Can anyone advise what this means? I think it was in relation to a Dobermann, if that means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythings Shiny Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Depends. One clinic I have been at the term was used to describe a dog who is unsteady on it's feet due to a medical condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warval dobe Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Dobermanns are one of the main breeds that suffer from cervical vertebral instabilty (wobbler syndrome) which is caused by an instabilty in the intervertebral discs in the neck area. Signs normally develop between 4 and 10 years of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
