Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This could be due to arthritis in the back legs, systemic illness such as kidney disease or heart disease, muscle disease, metabolic disease, etc. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Hope so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would recommend having her blood tested to see if there are any changes that need to be addressed. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
