Hi there. It would help to have some context for this question, as hyperreflexia is not a common presenting complaint in dogs. Was this found during a neurologic exam, or is there something you have observed your dog doing at home that makes you think he may have this problem? Please post again with more information about your concerns. We would be happy to try and help.
