Some common causes of hind leg immobility in dogs include:
* Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD): This is a common condition that affects the discs between the vertebrae, causing pain, weakness, and paralysis.
* Spinal cord injury: Trauma to the spinal cord can cause damage and lead to hind leg immobility.
* Degenerative myelopathy: This is a progressive neurological disease that affects the spinal cord and causes weakness and paralysis.
* Infections: Infections can affect the spinal cord and lead to neurological problems.
* Tumors: Tumors can compress the spinal cord and cause hind leg immobility.
* Hip dysplasia: This is a condition that affects the hip joint, causing pain, lameness, and instability.
* Cruciate ligament rupture: This is a common injury that can affect the knee joint, causing instability and pain.
It's important to seek veterinary attention immediately if your dog:
* Shows signs of hind leg weakness or paralysis.
* Has a sudden onset of lameness or difficulty walking.
* Is experiencing pain or discomfort.
* Is unable to control their bladder or bowels.
