Why is my Boxer dog walking with an arched body and stiff legs?

Question

Hi, I have a 7 year old Dog. He is a Boxer Breed. He recently started walking funny as though his hind legs walked strait while his body moved in another direction. He is arching his body sideways, his front left paw and back left paw almost touching. He shows no sign of pain or discomfort. Is this something to be worried about?

Yes. This sounds neurological and there are many possible causes ranging from an infection in his brain to a brain tumor to an inner ear infection. I recommend to have Mike examined by his veterinarian today. A physical exam is needed to start determining the reason why this is happening. Mike needs a correct diagnosis to ensure proper treatment. Best of luck.
