Our 6 year old poodle was eating her dinner tonight and it was as if her front legs just buckled underneath her all of a sudden. She got up and one just gave way again. I picked her up and checked her over and she seemed ok, just subdued. She def wasn't limping, more staggering if that difference makes sense. When I put her back down she didn't finish her dinner, and went and lay in her bed looking a bit dazed. I called the emergency vet service, and they said to 'keep an eye on her' and take her to our own vet on a monday if we were worried or it happened again. She's seemed ok all evening, was happy enough to go for her late night walk, gait seemed fine, but something about her just seems 'off' somehow. I've brought her bed upstairs so I'll hear her if she gets distressed but Im feeling stupidly worried about going to sleep :(. She's lying quite calmly in her bed but she is constantly smacking her lips and working her mouth. I'm sort of wishing there was an A&E service for dogs.
