Dragging Rear Feet

Question:
My dog Spike drags his rear feet. On a cool day he is fine but on hot days when we take walks in the park he gives out on his feet and will drag his feet he has scabs on his feet and tend to bleed i wraped his feet in athletic tape but it wasn't the scabs that was the promblem me and my dad relized something might be wrong with his hips or joints in legs or back so we took him to the vet the vet couldn't find any dicomfort he was having. He had no pain and never has pain in his legs. But this has been going on for about 2 months now and on hot days he can't walk. It seems to me he just gives out he walks funny and im very concerned PLEASE HELP ME AND TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY DOG!!!!!!! PLEASE IF ANYTHING EMAIL ME AT playbunnygirl666@yahoo.com thank you very much.

Answer:
First I'd be getting a second vet appt!

Second consider some alternative therapy, chiropractic/accupuncture BUT you have to find out what is happening first thus another vet I think!

Answer:
definately get a second opinion. It sounds like it's neurological. Maybe and just maybe, there might be a problem with the spine? a pinched vertebra?
Did your vet take x-rays?

Answer:
I say spine too

If neurological it would be a one sided drag
