My 17 yr old rat terrier is experiencing knuckling on his back foot and I've noticed th back legs seem to just be getting weak. He slowly lowers his back end as he eats or when standing still. He used to be a big walker but has been reluctant for years now, will still walk but very slowly after we carry or push him in a buggy for a bit.
The vet did point out the knuckling as "bad" but didn't say much more. Before me, he had a history of injuries, even walked on his front legs often when I first got him, so I knew one day we'd have issues with the back end again. Over the years we've tried the supplements and pain meds but he absolutely sucks at taking them so here we are.
Has anyone tried those no-knuckling training socks? Or any kind of brace? Or even the wheelchair for the back? I don't know how weak his legs have to be where he would find that as a relief and not want to squirm out of it.
