I am so sorry Bronson is having this issue. I would call your veterinarian and make an appointment. Bronson could have a few different things going on. The only way to definitively rule things out or determine the cause of the falling of his legs is a complete physical examination. From the description you provided I am concerned that Bronson has a bulging disk in his back. I hope Bronson feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
