Hi,
We recently gave our cat back to her original owners, after having her for a year. Our whippet X, Stella, has been quite sad about it as they were quite close, looking for the cat everywhere. She has since been showing very marked quivering and shaking in her back legs, particularly the left one. She doesn't seem to have any pain from it at all, as we've felt it all over, including the hip and lower back and she didn't make a sound or try to pull away. We thought perhaps she's upset about the cat, except that the quivering seems to be interfering with her ability to walk, and her gait looks as though her back legs are very weak. However, she can run etc on her walks.
Any idea what could be causing this? Is it something that whippet crosses do when they are upset? Or has she maybe got a physical problem we should be checking out with the vet?
Thanks for any advice,
Best wishes,
Caroline and Keith
