QUESTION
I have a greyhound bitch. She has trouble using her hind legs. She falls down. She has lost a lot of weight in the last month or so. She has fever and trouble using her hind legs. Can this be degenerative myleopath?

ANSWER
Dear Vishrut,
Whilst degenerative myelopathy would be a consideration in a differential diagnosis, I would not associate this with a fever or weight loss.
I suspect it is another condition of which only blood tests and radiographs would diagnose.
If you are not UK based it could be something I may know very little about!
Best see a vet anyway.
