    oof don't like the sound of that. 

    I will look into something. I just hope it's not something that will worsen over time. The dog turns 10 years old in July and still acts like a puppy. All he wants to do is play. I get nervous because my girlfriend told me his breed only lives to be like 10-12 years old or something. But hoping as long as he is active, remains in good health, and we do the yearly checkups he should be good. I'm even considering doing 6 month checkups now that he is getting older.

    Thank you!

    Yea it sucks we outlive our pups. Get him on Glucosamine asap. Lots of options for it

    oh crap...I have to read your reply. 

    He's been better these past few weeks. There is certainly still weakness though within his lower back, its evident by the way he moves (especially when he does quick movements) and the back left leg just sticks out differently than the others. 

    Yea read my reply.

    This looks suspiciously too deep and nucleated to me considering the overall evolution of the total synoptic circumstances surrounding - which is more flaccid. But aloft the Euro is trying to phase a convective feed-back vort max with a wholesale N/stream incursion through the eastern Lakes.  ah ....dubious.

    I think slightly weaker low moving up the St L. Seaway, with ( perhaps even ...) a convection day amid a warm sector.  Since that would be what we want, it won't happen, and this anomaly below will just go ahead and take place.  ha

    Do you have any recommendations on dog exercises to strengthen their lower back? 

    Back in December, I was outside playing with the dog and he was chasing the ball. All of a sudden he let out a series of yelps and tumbled over. My initial thought was he re-injured his leg because he was favoring his leg. Before my gf and I met, he had injured himself jumping the fence and a few months after dating he had to get ACL surgery I think on his back right leg and this time it was his back left leg. We were nervous because they told us there is a good chance he will injure the other one at some point. 

    Anyways, we got him into an emergency vet and after doing some tests and checking him out, they realized he may have actually done something to his lower back (when they did some light pressing on his spine he reacted towards his lower spine and when they did a paw flip thing, he didn't really react when they put his back left paw backwards...it just kind of flopped). They told us they believe he could have had a minor stroke in his back but didn't think there was anything serious. I was nervous about something more serious so shelled out $3,500 for an MRI, which thankfully showed nothing serious. They expected him to fully recover. 

    Anyways, probably within a few weeks we were back to playing. I think it was last Friday or Friday before, he seemed to be in some pain which was the first time since the injury. 

    You can tell though its still on the weak side. Do you know of anything we can try to maybe strengthen the lower back?

     

    Sounds like a blood clot did nerve damage.   We used electrical stimulation along the back and inside the legs. It was a chihuahua so I used an old electric toothbrush but they sell similar for big dogs. Or you can use your vibrating Dildo. Lol . Best of luck Paulie.
