It almost looks like this dog has wobbler syndrome, a neurological disorder, that primarily affects the function of the nervous system due to compression of the spinal cord in the neck region. I have seen some dogs get better with a lot of veterinary care, cold therapy, time and commitment. I’ve also seen so many animals euthanized because of this. This dog appears so excited in this video. Thank you for posting it.

This makes me sad, Got an appt. in a week and he is a 4 yo great Dane. He can't go down steps and walks funny. Sucks because it looks very expensive to treat
