My 5 year old male Yorkie suddenly started having balance problems. Dragging his hind quarters intermittently. He wobbled around then had a normal bowel movement. All symptons went away. Any ideas

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Bear. It could be that he has a problem with his back or hips causing intermittent problems walking. It could also be there is a neurological issue going on. Keep an eye on him for now. If this behavior repeats itself, then I would take him into a vet to get it checked out. I hope this helps!
