Dragging Back Leg in Dogs

Hello i have a husky who is 106 lbs and is 12 years old. He been dragging his back right leg when walking and now when he stands it shakes a lot. I had him since he was 6 weeks old so his is very upsetting for me to see him go through all this pain. If he's lying down we have to help him up by lifting his back legs to help him. He doesn't have Any health issue only that he is dragging this leg and it's basically paralysed. Can you please let me help him. I am not ready for him to go and I know he's not a puppy but he is not old either. Please help me by letting me know what to give him for the pain and what I can do.

My 10 year old pug started dragging her hind legs and when she sits her one leg shakes. We have had X-rays done and they do not see any spinal damage or arthritis. What could be causing this?

My two year old shih tzu recently got what I believe is the dog flu. Difficulty breathing, fevers, shivering/shaking. It only started a couple days ago. Accompanied with these symptoms was her walking on her back legs ability slowly declining. It is really bad. She literally has to scoot to get around. What illness can cause her legs to be this way but also has strong symptoms of flu like symptoms? Please help!

i woke up one day and saw that my 4 month old blue heeler could not stand on his back legs. he can move them but does not have the strength to stand up or put any weight on them. i have checked for ticks and have found nothing. we are also unable to take him to a veterinarian for a few weeks as we live in papua new guinea. the dog does not seem to be in any pain however.

My 8yr old Chihuahua, Chico, can't walk on his back two legs. When he walks he drags them and can't really put his weight on them. When he tries to put weight on them he stumbles over. I'm not sure if it's just because he's old or something happened to him. I can tell that he's in a lot of pain but I don't know what to do. I gave him a bath and pain medicine.

My shihtzu has a very sudden onset of hind legs/lower spine pain. He looks like he’s in pain and he’s trembling. We left home for work and when we returned he was like this. He wouldn’t stand up for us so we took out his leash and this encouraged him to wag his tail but even then he didn’t stand. After a while he stood and we took him for a short walk but when we got home he went back to same behavior. I’m worried. He’s a young dog and this occurred from one day to the next.

I have a 5year old cross shitsu/poodle. Who is very active normally. Loves to run and eat. Tuesday a week ago my husband noticed he was not walking correctly, actually dragging hind legs.

Bloods all within normal range. Still eating and going to toilet normal. What now?

My pug is 16 years old and is fairly healthy for his age. Suddenly today he began to drag one of his legs as if it were paralyzed. It doesn't seem to be hurting him as I have moved both back legs around and he didn't seem bothered by it. I palpated around his hips and nothing seems broken or out of place. He has also had treatment for tick and fleas last week.

Our Maltese had surgery for cruciate repair in both hind legs, first surgery in 2015 and the second in 2016. She didn't cooperate very well with therapy. She would limp on one leg, then eventually would only stand when necessary to go potty. About a month ago, she stopped standing up and started going potty on herself. I made a vet appointment, but before I could get her there, she took a turn for the worse. Total loss of using hind legs, panting, wimpering, crying out in pain. Took her to the vet who said it was either cancer, tumor or blood clot. He sedated her heavily, but still pain within hours. He suggested she be euthanized. She was 11 1/2 years old. He said there was little to no chance of recovery no matter what we did. Could this have been caused from not using the back legs all the time?

My 9yr old Chocolate lab woke up this morning and he can not stand on his own. His back right leg from his hip isnt working at all. He is dragging his leg so bad its dragging the top side of his paw. When he goes to walk outside he walks sideways for about 5ft and falls. He stays inside most of the time and isnt very active. He once was active but once he hit 7yrs old he hasnt been very active... Thank you

My 1.5 year old lab woke up this morning walking kind of funny, like she had to go to the bathroom, or like she had something up her butt. She ate fine, drank water, went to the restroom and then came inside and lied down and refuses to get back up unless we pick her up. She’s usually so full of energy and running around but all she does is lay on the ground. We took her to the vet and they found no signs of external pain and they did an x ray and said her inside looks great as well, just that she had quite a bit of fecal matter inside, but not hard stuff that would make her constipated. They gave us an anti-inflammatory but I’m still scared because there was no definite diagnoses, and i’m hoping there’s not anything else going on inside that he wasn’t able to predict. Any advice or guesses on what could be wrong?

My 18 week old toy poodle is dragging his back legs, he can use them although doesn’t seem to have complete control, falls quite abit aswell.
We’ve been to the vet and he is on anti- inflammatory medication at the moment, with 4 days to go but no results..
What could this be?
He hasn’t had any major falls etc

His leg is swollen and it hard like it has something to do with his muscle, will not put weight on it, whines all day, he hops around because he can't straighten his leg. He doesn't stop panting all day, barely eats his food. It swells up so big it just stays hard. It swelled up and the relieved and then returned and hasn't gone away. It's been like this for a couple of months, the vet just keeps shoving pills down his throat.

My dog has started to struggle with his back leg we have taken him to a vet and they said that it could be that his brain is not communicating with his back leg he is on antibiotics but he isn't getting better if it is his brain how much would that cost and what could it be?

About 2 hours ago my chihuahua is starting to have issues walking around on his back legs and using his back legs it's to the point that he can't even stand on his back legs not sure what to do don't really have the money for the vet right this minute just kind of stuck with having for about 5 years and we're not sure how old he was then but he's family.

I have a pitbull - bully mix who is about an year old. The day before,when I went out to call him at night he didn't respond.I took a flashlight and saw him sitting outside. I called his name,he wagged his tail but wouldn't move. His hind legs were not moving even though he could lift them sideways while laying down.I lifted him and put him into a sitting position but he wouldn't move an inch.
I took him to a vet yesterday and I got his cbc done which indicated infection.he was administered an antibiotic and a nerve medicine but to no avail.
It's disheartening to see him in such condition.

WHAT COULD IT BE??

My dog is a 5 yr old Dachshund and was in pain last week so we took her to the vet thinking it was IVDD. We got x-rays, blood work and she was given Metacam for the pain. Her results came back good, she was healthy with no spine issues or any symptoms of IVDD. This morning when she woke up she was dragging her back legs and was unbalanced. She is not showing any signs of pain like she was last week. She is eating and drinking fine. It is heartbreaking to see her unable to walk properly and I do not have the money for another vet visit. Does this sound very serious or is there a chance it may get better ?

My 9 year old female lab is usually very active and looks great for her age. Recently we had brought her on a walk to the beach and that night she has thrown up a great amount. We don't think that she had gotten into anything expect her toys (tennis balls). Then the last two days she hasn't been getting up or moving as much. Running on the beach sometimes makes her sore for a day or two but not this long. We have to pick her up to move now. She has no appetite but will drink water. She doesnt seem to be in pain but she will start to fall but than sit and lay there and not move. I am unsure if she is just very sore from the beach and jumping in and out of the car and that maybe she ate too much of a tennis ball. Or if this is much more serious.

Our 4 month old Akita all of a sudden started dragging his back right leg. The leg is stiff as a board and he is dragging it knuckle down. We took took him to the vet emidetly for X-rays. No abnormalities showed up. They placed him on some broad spectrum anti biotics and pain relief meds, but 2 days have gone by and he isn’t getting better . He wasn’t playing or anything he was fine one minute.. then the next his leg didn’t work at all :( If the problem isn’t an injury, is there a chance he will regain the use of his leg ? It is very disturbing and heartbreaking to watch him struggle to move around. It seems like if he has contracted one of these diseases he may never use the leg again ?:(

My 9.5 year old presa canario has been dragging his right hind leg more and more over the last couple weeks. It used to just be his pads sliding across the floor but now you can see he’s completely worn down one of his nails until it bleeds. He’s started holding his right leg up in the air and trying to limp with his left leg as of today and his left leg seems to give up on him sometimes. I’m really concerned it’s DM but I know they can’t test for that. Im told DM is not painful but I do not want my dog uncomfortable at all, and legs giving out doesn’t seem comfortable to me :(
