Dog with muscle spasms on leg
My dog's (2yo male Italian Greyhound) rear right leg has muscle spasms. The first time was when he was on a walk. He has had them while in bed sleeping also. When he goes downstairs in the morning he usually lifts his back right leg up, I originally thought this was because it is a rounded staircase. At first he cried while having a spasm, now he doesn't seem to care. At first he had the spasm every once in a while, now it is happening everyday and sometimes on multiple occasions during one walk. When he has them now he just continues on his walk, just on three legs. Most of the time he seems to be just fine. He can run a high speeds and doesn't seem to be in any pain. What does this sound like? |

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
