Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Male | unneutered | 12 years and 7 months old | 13 lbs
I have 13 yo Maltese. He is shaking, trembling and stiff. He can’t stand on his hind legs and he’s panting more than usual. I rubbed his back and it helped some but he’s experiencing this stiffness when I try to put him down or on his other side. He starts “trying to throw his body” in the opposite direction. He can’t straighten out his body. I gave him some water but not too much. When I came home, I found in in his vomit & some poop. Please help.
