What it could be
Wobbly Back Legs can have several possible causes
This section is not a diagnosis. It gives sensible possibilities to help you decide what to monitor and when to involve your vet.
Hip, knee or spinal pain
Pain can make the back legs look weak or unstable, especially when rising, turning or using stairs.
Age-related muscle loss
Older dogs may lose rear strength gradually, but sudden or fast changes should not be assumed to be normal ageing.
When to call a vet
Contact your vet promptly for sudden wobbliness, collapse, dragging paws, severe pain, loss of bladder control or rapidly worsening weakness.
