Hi and thanks for posting. This sounds a little concerning to me especially if this is happening frequently. Harvey could have a spinal condition causing this, ligament injury, joint disorders among other causes. My recommendation would be to have Harvey seen by his vet for an exam and a few x-rays to get idea of what the cause is so he can be treated appropriately.
