[QUOTE="dutchcowboy, post: 954342, member: 14752"] Hi, Those shaky legs, does it look like he's getting electro-shocks ? In the past I had a purebred Belgian bleu that did the same, during feeding was the worst, then it became less severe. After a few weeks it looked like he was paralysed, couldn't stand up alone. Had to put him down, vet told he was suffering from CMD (congetinale musculaire dystonie) , a genetic defect in the nervessystem. Seems to be seen more often in the BB breed. They name it ' electric calves' The symptoms can be very light but also very heavy. Don't know if its possible that the yersey breed has this defect. Gr. DC [/QUOTE]
