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. <BR>
<BR>
I tried to take a video to show you what I mean....(see below). <BR>
<BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
Any ideas? <BR>
<BR>
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....<BR>
