Hello. He may have a urinary tract infection, but this may also be a neurological issue, too, perhaps the beginning of a compressed disc. Have your vet take a look & make sure they do a neurological exam & test his placing reflexes especially with his hind legs. I have seen this before in young danes & you do want to address this before the problem potentially progresses. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
