My dog is skipping on her back legs

I’m very familiar with this issue as I’ve got a Jack Russell myself—she’s my second one, actually. It’s a classic terrier trait, really; a slight misalignment in the lower spine that affects the back legs. Usually, an osteopath can just pop it back into place, and then you just have to make sure the dog rests for a bit so it stays put. Not exactly easy with a Jack! I’ve already had it sorted once, but I’ll have to take her in again because she’s started that little skipping walk again. It’s worth noting that it isn’t serious at all, and most of them live with this quirk their whole lives. However, getting it realigned will help prevent things like arthritis further down the line. So, you can either leave it be or get it seen to by a good osteopath. If you look closely at most terriers, you’ll notice that many of them have this little physical quirk.

I haven’t managed to get a video of my dog yet. It’s absolutely chucking it down here! As soon as it dries up, I’ll try to get one of her 😁
