Hi, im new on here and have found this forum to be a great help as three weeks ago my cavalier murphy began showing quite sudden signs of sm. I noticed that he was not walking properly on his back legs and seemed very wobbly and unsteady, he kept losing his balance when trying to cock his leg and his legs seemed to be very splayed. I also noticed that his back was very humped. I took him to my vet who said he suspected sm and would do some research and phone me in about a week. It has now been three weeks and i havent heard anything but murphy has been doing a lot of rubbing his face on the floor and furniture, a lot of scratching at his head and now has quite noticeable muscle wastage in back legs. I am trying not to panic but i am now looking at everything my other cavalier does as i suspect he may be showing very mild signs. Murphy is only 2 and a half and rudi is 3. Murphys symptoms seem to have come on so quickly and i would really appreciate any advice on how this might progress. Thanks
