Hi everyone, I know its not a purebred but we have a Cavapoo, and she has just recently been having leg troubles. We have had her in to see the vet and we are booked in to get some tests at the university for her. Okay for whats wrong, first off she is 2 1/2 years old. about five days ago we were coming in from outside with her and she was running up the steps and her front leg just seemed to give out on her and it went ou sideways and she kinda fell to the floor with alittle wimper. She got up from that and we watched her and she seemed to get better. Now just here yesterday we couldn't find her so I went looking for her and found her at the bottom of the steps in our barn, the door must have blown shut and locked her in there, so I opened up the door and she was just lying there then she tried to get up and fell down as it seemed at least 3 of her legs gave out the 2 back ones for sure, she fell onto her side and her legs were pointed straight out. She would walk really funny after that for awhile like she couldn't bend her legs and they would seem to want to keep giving out. We took her into a local vet (we lve in a small town) and our vet couldn't find anything notciably wrong with her no sore spots on anything out of the ordinary. She didn't want to medicate or anything cause she didn't know which is good. The vet phoned and made us an appointment to go to the university to get tests done. So I am just wondering if anyone knows what could be wrong. She seems to be alittle stiff today but they haven't given out on her yet except when she tried going down a couple stairs. She is very energetic and hard to keep still. Please can anyone even just help us to kinda know whats going on. We will still be taking her to the univeristy either way. Thanks a milllion everyone. Take care
