Hind legs trembled, unsteady; days later whole body shakes, unsteady, cries
Trembling may be from calcium deficiency, poor nutrition, neuromuscular disease, or distemper. Imbalanced diet causing low calcium, nerve disease, or distemper all cause shaking. See a vet to find the cause.
My two-month-old puppy trembles, breathes rapidly, and eats less; could it be parvo
Trembling, rapid breathing, and poor appetite in a puppy are unlikely to be parvovirus and more likely a respiratory infection or calcium deficiency. Keep it warm, supplement calcium and vitamins, and see a vet if symptoms persist.
My Labrador pants heavily while nursing (also at other times). The day after birth I let her out and she burrows into holes; the pups are still inside and she won’t come out when called. Since birth her belly keeps twitching; eating and drinking are fine.
Postpartum panting and belly twitching may be from calcium deficiency, unsettled breathing, or nervous sensitivity; appetite is good so it is likely minor. Boost nutrition with broth, goat milk, and calcium under guidance.
From one weak hind leg to both hind legs paralyzed overnight; a doctor said arthritis, not yet checked
Hind-leg weakness can be calcium deficiency, joint disease or inflammation, neuritis, patellar luxation, or hip dysplasia; a poor single diet causes calcium deficiency, osteoporosis or arthritis needs X-rays, and low blood sugar from not eating also weakens. Get a vet check.

My erect-eared Teddy’s ears suddenly stopped standing up. What should I do?
Sudden ear drooping in an erect-eared Teddy may be genetic, as the breed has mixed genetics and may carry droopy-ear genes. Try massaging the ear base daily to improve circulation, and supplement calcium since deficiency can affect ear posture.
My Corgi is fairly fat; last night it was fine on a walk, but this morning it suddenly can’t walk and is trembling a bit
Sudden inability to walk has many causes, possibly neurological or skeletal disease: neuritis, distemper aftereffect, patellar luxation, hip dysplasia. Without distemper-like symptoms, rule that out. Also possible low blood sugar or low calcium, plus brain injury, blood clots, or intervertebral disc disease, often from trauma, aging, or obesity, causing lower-limb numbness and walking difficulty, even incontinence or muscle wasting. Any case needs examination; see a vet promptly.
