Hello, we are new to rescue mastiffs, and wonder if anyone has seen this. I brought home a 10 month old male that has a back that arches up. Doctors have X-rayed him and said he doesn't have Degenerative Hip Disease, however he struggles to sitdown. He won't sit due to non-flexible hip, legs, etc. He eventually circles enough to lay down. The odd thing is when he lays down he has no arch and his back lays down. He is very skinny and allows us to touch him without acting like it is a injury. I was wondering if maybe he had like a hyper-extension that would eventually heal as he gets healthy.
Vets around here don't see Mastiffs everyday so something this unique wouldn't be much help. Please advise.
Thank you,
