Boxer, 10/11 years old is getting up at night with problems

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

The last couple of nights I have been woken by my boxer trying to stand up. He loses his footing and needs help to stand for a few minutes. Once he gets his footing he seems to be ok until the next night. While he is trying to stand he is having some light frothing from his mouth. He seems to be fine sleeping during the day and wakening without help to stand. He also is having trouble seeing and also seems to be sensitive to the touch of a hand. Meaning that his skin/coat will move when you touch it. He is 10/11 years old. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Lois
