Hello, I took our 8 year German Shepperd out for his usual walk. When we got to the yard he was fine. As we started to walk his head, tail and ears went down and he whimpered like he was in pain and had a hard time walking. When we got back in the house he could barely walk. Now all he's doing is laying on his stomach, he won't lay on his side and when he moves he whimpers. He is being treated for Limes disease with 6 pills daily (100mg) of oxycycline. Is this a side effect of this medication, or is this unrelated? I will be taking him to the vet, but would just like some opinion before I go. Thank You
