ive got an 8 or 9 year old lahsa apso shih zu type mix. when she jumps down or even is just walking her front 2 paws cave in on her, the actual paws go back making the top of her paw on the ground, like they just slip back, i felt all up and down her legs and theres nothing out of the ordinary, does this sound like anything youve heard of ? could you point me in a direction of a possible diagnosis ? Shes my baby and Im so worried about her. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and respond. -taci
