Why cant my prairie dog move her back legs?

i just got a new prairie dog..a few months old. everything was fine until yesterday. now she cant move her back legs at all?! its like shes paralyzed. any answers are appreiciated.

What on earth are you doing with a prairie dog? They are wild animals and should NOT be in your home!

BTW: They aren't "dogs" either. They're rodents!

you have to take her the emergency vet. how would anyone (even you) know what happened? Unless you saw an attack by a wild animal or something specific, you can't say what happened. get her medical help right away.

Take her to the Vet ASAP. My neighbors cat had the same problem. It was either a blood clot or some kind of nerve damage, I don't remember. But they did have to put it down because there was nothing they could do for him. I hope this isn't the case with you but be prepared.

Take her to the animal hospital or your vet. They will run some tests to find out what is causing it.

to the vet now!!!!

One of my dog's middle toe joints on her front foot seems to have collapsed?

I noticed the other day that one of her toes looked much longer than the others. All of her other toes are arched, but this toe was completely flat and seemed floppy. Could this be a broken toe or a ligament injury? She doesn't seem to be in any pain, but she's a tough girl.

You'll need to take her to the vet.

Broken probably. Have it checked by your vet as soon as you can.

I know what you mean by 'tough'. My APBT never knew she was spayed. She also never knew she had a big gash on the side of her head.

And she hits her head against the patio walls when running for the ball.

Doesn't faze her. That is why the 'tough ones'? We have to pay close attention to.

dropped toe is what this is called -usually this is a ligment injury. It can be repaired (at high cost) but the problem seldom cause thedog any problems so why put them through it

My senior dog is acting restless suddenly, should I be concerned?

I have a 15 year old lhaso apso male who is blind & deaf however he eats like a horse, loves to cuddle, is potty trained & loves to run around outside. Lately he has seemed really restless. He wanders about kinda frantically even if he doesn't have to go potty & at night he moves a lot more than he used to. He's still eating & acting like he always has it's just now he can't seem to sit still. Should I be concerned?

Its very possible your dog is getting senile or has dementia. It does happen with the older babies. You may want to call your vet though just to be safe.

My cocker spaniel did this.I agree he may be getting senile or has dementia. It does happen with the older dogs. I gave mine benydrll to help him sleep the vet told me how much.He may be in pain the vet tell you how to make him more comfrotable.
