Legs Go Out:

Legs 'going out' on hardwood floors
This is from:
Fur between pads and long nails costing traction
Loss of agility with age or Loss of strength with age.
Poor or tender joints (arthritis) which makes quick movements uncomfortable
Mechanical impingement (pinching) of nerves between arthritic bones resulting in sudden outages of nerve function to extremeties. They go down, the 'nerve-pinch' is released and they can get up.
Tiny epileptic events (exceedingly uncommmon)

Illustrated Explainer About This

Another Illustrated Explainer About This

I get very good feedback from this: Have (or shave) the webbing of the feet so there's no hair between the pads and then treat the pads with a hearty Burt's Bees or other Jergen's / Keri Lotion for heels. Their pads become nice and 'grabby' and they fall a lot less.

Dog boots can aid traction in some dogs whose agility and strength are lacking. Removing the hair between the paw pads is also useful. After an hour's worth of complaining (Or just standing there dumbfounded) a slipping old timer will adapt and enjoy more sure-footing.

Something else I found for my dog "Ajax" that's cool:

Sporn Dog Halter STOPS "pulling and tugging" NOW. (Link)

This is what I use now, with my dog Ajax. I used to use the Gentle Leader, but I didn't like including his face in the thing. Now, this just goes around his chest and he DOES NOT PULL ANY MORE. It's great! Amazon.com has it.

You can buy a fat bundle of 'wet wipes' with Cetaphil and I'd recommend it. They're great for cleaning healing wounds, dirty ears, cleansing around some eyes, under-tails, surgery sites, sores.
