Dear friends at Petfinders,
Hi! I need your advice. Sweetie developed this habit of snarling and baring her teeth lately when friends came to my house. She will snarl and bare her teeth when my friends come close to Sweetie to say hello. Sweetie was adopted by me since Feb 2009 as her owner went to another country due to job posting.

Today, she snarled at my brother's girlfriend. She never used to snarl or bare her teeth though her previous owner did tell me that we can't take her bone/ food away and there's risk of Sweetie snarl or bite.

Last night, she did not have control over her 2 back legs. It's as if her 2 back legs were numb. Cannot move at all. She moved around using her 2 front legs only. She was in her usual sleeping position and she she got up, it's as if she lost control over her 2 back legs. It was like that for a few minutes and then she walk around like normal. Back to normal.

Then, it happened again tonight..she lied at her usual position and when she got up, she was like paralysed on her 2 back legs..after a few minutes, she's ok back to normal.

Please advise if this is normal, ie. like us human sometimes we sit too long and our legs got numb and cannot move for a few minutes.

Kindly advise. Thank you.
