Hello. At sheep-dogs such status happens as a result of disease of hip joints and as a result diseases of a backbone. In absentia to find out the reason it is impossible. At least survey and neurologic research (check of reflexes) is necessary. Can be necessary and additional researches, especially, if after survey it will be found out, that disturbance of function of back extremities is a result of the general or common delicacy and if there are still any signs. The opportunity to help or assist a dog depends on the diagnosis.
