My perfectly healthy 13 yo boxer just out of nowhere his back legs fall out from under him and he can’t stand or walk. He doesn’t seem bothered when you touch his back or legs and then stared vomiting

Krista Magnifico Hello,
The answer to why this might be happening lies in an examination with your veterinarian. I worry about heart disease in boxers. I also worry about hemoabdomen. Gum color, abdominal palpitation, heart and lungs need to listened to and an orthopedic and neurological examination are needed. This has the potential of being an emergency. -
Summer Post author Thank you I am at the emergency vet now as he started seizing as well.
My border collie 2 years old recently started staring at shadows. She will just sit and stare for hours. When the light moves and the shadow is in a different spot she will move with it. What could be going on? I can’t get her to play or cuddle or anything once she starts staring.
I took her to the vet for bloodwork and everything came back normal.

Laura This sounds like an obsessive behavior. I would be working on training and mental work daily in the hopes this can be curbed.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I would also ask your vet about the possibility of focal seizures and whether a referral to a neurologist might be helpful.
Hello
I don’t know enough about your pup to offer much help. I think a week is too long to wait. If your pup isn’t coughing frequently (like a few times a day), or the coughing is worsening (ie can’t sleep or coughing to the point of vomiting), then you need to see a vet asap.
