Spine

Hey, there,

Just like many other breeds, there are certain health problems that you need to be aware of. Developmental bone and joint disease is a common problem prevalent in young large breed dogs like German Shepherds. Dogs may not exhibit any symptom or may show pain, lameness and reluctance to exercise.

Another German Sheperd dog health problem is weakness in the hind legs, which manifests itself through a lack of coordination, or by a general shakiness of movement. This can be caused by a slipped disc, or by a breakdown of the bones of the spine, or even of the spinal cord itself.

You may need a Vet to examine her.
