Is it sick if a dog walks slanted? Not necessarily, the reason why a dog walks slanted may be due to some physiological reason, such as muscle soreness, osteoarthritis, neuropathy, or spinal problems, or it may be due to mental stress or fatigue. If the dog continues to walk slant, it is recommended to seek medical attention so that it can check for potential health problems.
