This can be caused by hip dysplasia in many of the larger bred dogs. Usually low slung back ends on a particular breed of dog such as a German Shepherd, Collie dogs, Border collies, etc. These animals run fast and count on the strength of their muscles in their back legs. As the dog gets older this can become a problem and the term 'if you don't use it you lose it' so this can cause muscle waste. There are great things being done with acupuncture and natural ways of dealing with stimulating the muscles in not only dogs, but humans. It would be to your advantage to talk to your vet and take your dog in for treatments of acupuncture. I have seen a program on this and the dogs feel quite comfortable and the results can be astounding.
