sounds like the dog has the beginning of hip displaysia Your dog may have a spinal disc compression. Do this test: Stand the dog up on all fours. Grasp the foot of the problem leg and slowly move it backward until the dog is standing on the toe of that foot. Then let go. If the dog corrects his posture and plants the foot back down flat, he still has feeling in it. If he stays on the toe, or the leg simply droops, chances are he has limited nerve sensitivity and control. This is often caused by a compression in the disc which pinches the nerves. Have your vet do an x-ray to confirm. In mild cases, Rimadyl or another anti-inflammatory may be indicated. I have never seen hip dysplasia cause sudden paralysis. Dysplasia is a joint & ligament problem, not a nerve problem. (Submitted by an animal rescue worker.)

Your dog needs to see a qualified vet. ASAP!

∙ 13y agoWell I'm guessing there may be other possible causes but one of my dog suffered from that because he had a hernia.
If you are in Australia this is a classic symptom displayed by a dog that has picked up a paralysis tick. It needs to be removed as quickly as possible as it will kill the dog.

∙ 12y agoIs it only one leg? Because if it is, your dog might have a disease that forces that one leg to not grow. My chihuahua, Maxwell has that disease in his left hind leg and after 2 years he was used to it and was starting to run around on all of his legs. You can either go to a vet and make your dog get surgery on it for like thousands of dollars or just let him be. I recommend just letting him be because he will grow with his leg like that and will start using that leg. I am not sure what that disease is called, but I might remember it and think of it soon.
Good Luck. :) <3
