does anyone ever have their pooch's back legs shake? my guy has been doing this for about 6 +/- a year he is 8 now. i asked my vet and he had no answers,felt his back end and found nothing. i also asked my groomer and she said he doesn't shake when he's there. it's getting where does it more and more. any help or suggestion, it has me worried.

One of mine did it when nervous, I suspect it might have been to get sympathy too. Another had pretty good/bad spinal arthritis.

There seems to be some tremors that are like you describe in some lines of OES. It gets brought up from time to time .....It's not desirable.
Buster has rear leg tremors sometimes and also a head tremor sometimes (Buster is my Newfy)
My vet does not what causes it and isn't concerned.
He comes from a line of well bred dogs who are shown in confirmation and who's dog family and has not had related health issues, so I am not worried that it is something serious.
We have found that his head tremors happen more on a high protein diet. On Origen kibble his head tremors happened more than on NOW kibble.
His rear leg tremors usually happen when he has to stand in one position for a while such as with grooming.
I do need to add in - the OES tremors are seen in some show lines. That is where the "discussions" are most of the time - ringside.
duffy is always doin it
