Tremors in hind quarters?

Dowser has a very developed hind end. If he were human I would compare him to a linebacker with the size of his thighs and hip muscles. He has always shook a little when ever he seemed excited about something or if he was about to attack a stray rodent or bird in our yard.
But recently I noticed him doing this tremor like behavior for no visable reason. Could he be doing this if he was displastic (sp) or any other common cause? He does seem to have a bow to both his hind legs that his dad does not have.

 

Dogs with Wobbler's syndrom tend to do this... It's a neurological disease...no pinpointed cause yet...genetic could be one etc...

It could also be HD...but generally that causes pain at getting up or laying down and the bunny hop running deal too... I'd check with your vet... Sounds kinda like Wobblers to me though... might just be something small though...

 

Bunny hop? I will have to watch him run, he is very, very fast so I can't imagine he is doing the bunny hop. Will look up wobbler's syndrom.
Thanks.

 

Generally they run with hind legs together rather than putting their weight on one at a time... Not sure if that gives you a mental picture or not...

 

Has your dog been around any raccoons lately? Even dead ones? It could be the early stages of coondog paralysis (polyredicular neuritis). The bad news is, there's no cure, only supportive care. The good news is that the disease runs it's course and the dog recovers in time.

 

Have not seen any coons around. Seen some coyotes outside our 6 foot chain link fence through out the winter though. He has always had the tremors when he was excited though.
I am following some info on Canine Stress Syndrome "CSS" I have some of the links blocked from work so will continue the research after work.
