Have 13 yr old Gordon whose hind quarters have progressively failed him. Doesn't appear to be in any pain. I have to pick up his back end but once he gets going he is ok. The end may be near.Any treatment suggestions?

My 12 year old is the same way.He also is leaking a bit of urine at night - we have tried several remedies - DES, antibiotics and proin, which made him hyper. Though he's lost some weight now, a few years ago he weighed 112 lbs and the vet said he was not overweight. He's a very loving dog

We had this happen to our German Sheppard, the vet said it is due to nerve damage which larger breeds are prone to, unfortunatley there is no cure and this will become more of an issue until the dog starts to loose control of bladder and bowels.
