Degenerative myelopathy initially affects the back legs and causes muscle weakness and loss, and lack of coordination.

These cause a staggering affect that may appear to be arthritis.

The dog may drag one or both rear paws when it walks.

This dragging can cause the nails of one foot to be worn down.
