Boxer. Just turned 8. No leg issues I have seen. He's been pacing for the past 7-8 minutes. He is so weirded out by it

Watch him closely next 48 hrs. Sounds like what they call myoclonus. Older dog showing weird movement like that followed by abnormal pacing behavior sounds like just had a seizure. If he does anything like that again, time it. You'll need to tell any vet exactly how long it happened for and it'll seem longer than it really is unless you're timing it.


This dog vaccinated against distemper?

Sherwood South Animal Hospital is awesome and a 24-hour emergency vet if you think it's necessary to bring him in. Either way, I'd try to get him in the vet's office tomorrow.

Not to be a dick, but does he need to go out?

Definitely sounds like he just had a seizure. If you don't take him to a vet tonight make sure you watch him closely and try and schedule an appointment ASAP with regular vet. Hope everything goes well

Take him to the vet. Possibly a tumor causing the seizures

Boxers are weird
Mine paces when she’s in pain or scared of something
Is he panting? Trembling? The vet told me those are signs that they are in pain.

If it happens again try to video it to show the vet
Also, if you decide to go to ER Vet I recommend LSU

Good luck
