Doberman having problems walkingQ: I have a 5 year old male doberman. for the last 1.5 years the dog has begun to have problems walking. it's hard for him to get up and equally hard to walk. he rarley runs, instead he kind of hobbles. it seems that his front paws have problems keeping him up when they bend. he's about 90 lbs (not fat, he's a bigger doberman). at first, i thought it was because he was heavier? any ideas why??? A: You need to have your doberman evaluated by a local veterinarian.

How do you know if your dog has worms?Q: Hello. i have a 10 yr old chow mixed with lab and all she does is eat. when someone is eating she will bother the person while they eat. when my 1 yr old cousin is eating she will eat the crumbs off the floor that he drops and sometimes take his food when he walks around with a cookie in his hand. i had a 12 yr old cousin that was always feeding my dog table food and things from the fridge. i had to break my dog from eating table food and stop my cousin from feeding my dog things from the fridge. my dog has always had good health so i was wondering if my dog has worms or just not broken from what my cousin used to feed her. thanks. A: Always worth while to have stool checked for worms but it does sound more behavioral to me.consider working with good trainer in your home
