staffy health

I have a 5 month blue staffy, the last couple of days he struggles to stand once up he can walk ok, but if you slightly push the top of his back legs to either side his back end goes and he flops to the floor, does anyone have any idea what the prroblem might be ?

Aww poor thing, I'm not sure and would suggest a vet trip ASAP, let us know how it goes x

Hope all is okay. Poor pup, its horrible when they're not well. Do let us know how he vets goes x

My pup had much the same thing at 5 months old too. He went right off his legs in the middle of the night and we rushed to the 24/7 vet in the middle of the night. After many tests at enormous expense they could find nothing wrong; although he was up on his legs again he was limping heavily. We were told to take him to our regular vets as soon as they opened. After grabbing a couple of hours sleep I awakened to find him bouncing around as if nothing had happened!

It will always be a mystery, but he's been fine for the past 18 months!

I hope with all my heart that your pup has a similar happy outcome, Macca.   

Please let us know how you get on.

He's totally fine, took him to the vets and they couldnt find anything but to keep an eye on him, for a couple days he was the same, seemed like it wasnt easy for him to stand up and you could slightly push his back legs and to the floor he'd go, Thankfully a few weeks later he's bouncing about without a care in the world getting bigger and stronger by the day.
Happy staffy owner and happier staffy.

Great, thanks for letting us know x
