I wonder if this is another name for Degenerative myelopathy? Sure sounds
like it might be something similar. They gradually lose sensation in the
spine and their back end collapses. My first GSD, beautiful Josey, was lost
to this condition in October of 2003. She was 12 1/2 years old when we lost
her.

Go to www.germanshepherds.com and once you are there, visit the web board
section. You will find areas on senior dogs and also health.

I know that there is one web site devoted exclusively to this disease and it
is started by a wonderful woman who lost her dog to this dreaded disease.

Best wishes to you and Jagr.

Yours in GSDs and rescue,
