[Dailydrool] opinion-should we be worried?

[Susan Stoker]

Ok, so you know how when something is different with your kid that it makes you nervous? That's how it is with Duke, our bloodhound. 

 

I tried to take a video to show you what I mean....(see below). 

 

When we run our fingernails down his back, he shudders....in the video you can see his back end shaking (it's kinda funny, espeiclaly since he doesn't have a tail). But he's never done this before. He doesn't act like he's in pain, no crying or anything. Duke is about 9-10 years old, so he's getting up there in age. I'm not sure if it's arthritis and it's making his spine area more sensitive or what. As I said, he doesn't act like he's in pain, we can't feel any lumps or bumps...he did have a sore at the very end of his back (by his nub), but it's healed up. 

 

Any ideas? 

 

The first link is the "long" video (maybe 30 sec) and the other is a short one, more close up so you can see his back "shudder" when we run our fingers over it....
