    My dog drags his legs
    My akita is 9 years old, and healthy, but today, started yelping and not using his hind legs as much as he usually does. Took him for a walk and he did well, but when we got in, if I wanted him to lay down, he wouldn't.

    Time for a vet check.
    There are many possibilities as to what could be wrong, anything from a pulled muscle to hip displaysia.
    Vet will more than likely have a feel of the legs and possibly do an x-ray of the hips.

    I second the pet motion. Unfortunately there is just too many possibilities here.
