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.

Why are my Husky’s front legs trembling and weak?
A Husky's front-leg trembling and weakness may be caused by malnutrition, neurological disease, insufficient exercise, trauma, or pain. Some neurological diseases in Huskies can cause symptoms such as muscle weakness and trembling. In addition, if the Husky develops muscle problems like injury, inflammation, or atrophy, it can also lead to front-leg trembling and weakness. Malnutrition, fatigue, overexercise, or aging may also be the cause. If the trembling and weakness persist or worsen, take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly for an examination to determine the specific cause and provide appropriate treatment.
