My labrador his back legs started shaking and he cannot even get up on his own. What is this?

It could be any number of things. Take him to a Vet for diagnosis.

Could be a number of things, maybe neurologic.. You could call your vet to see if they think it might be an emergency, but he will probably need to go in.

That is something you may may want to talk to a vet about .

He obviously has arthritis. Take him to the vet they can give him medicine for it. You may have to put him down if he doesn't begin to be able to stand again.

The Vet will tell you when you take him in for x-rays. Probably p Dysplasia and/or Arthritis.

It could very likely be hip dysplasia, which is unfortunately common in the breed. There is no cure for HD, but there are supplements and medications that can help improve his quality of life. I'd recommend getting him to the vet as soon as possible to see what exactly it is and what can be done about it; we can't really diagnose a dog over the Internet.

Best of luck to your buddy.

Spinal injury hips joints bad breeding infection.

He could have arthritis or possibly a tick. You should take him to the vet so they can look him over.

Dunno but I bet your vet will so take him there.

It is hip dysplasia or dislocation. It happens when a dog's bone rub together and dislocate. Contact your vet your dog might be facing surgery.

Don't worry it would be ok for the holidays. It could also because of spinal injure.

That could be a number of things. Anytime a dog can't get up on his own, it's serious. He needs to be seen in the morning by a good veterinarian.

If you need to, arrange for help in getting your dog into your car. The vet staff can help you get him out once you arrive for his appointment. Sometimes dogs are "down" because of hips or back problems; and sometimes they are down because they are just so sick and weak.

Your vet will be able to tell for sure what's wrong. The shaking comes from pain and/or weakness. To help him get up, sling a long towel underneath his lower belly and help raise him up.

If your floors are slick, put throw rugs in his path so he can make it outside. You may need to bring his water to him, because he can't get to it. Food is less important.

If your dog is overweight, he will need to lose weight. The problem is compounded by having too much weight to carry around (just like in humans. ) If there is going to be long-term weakness, then you'll want to look at seniorpetproducts.com for solutions to help him get around.

Your vet has access to some wonderful medications that could turn him right around and get him back to himself again. I hope you will call first thing in the morning, whether your dog is up or not. Vet tech.

It's a darn good reason to take him to the veterinarian right away!

If he was playing and running before this happened, he probably has EIC (Exercise Induced Collapse). Labrador Retrievers who are being bred should have had a genetic test for this. It usually shows up between 5 months and 3 years of age.

Usually shows up in Labs with highly excitable temperaments. You can google Exercise Induced Collapse in Labradors and find tons of info.

30+ years breeding, training, competing with dogs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
