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.
My cat has lost feeling in its hind legs and is incontinent
Loss of hind-leg sensation and bowel or bladder control usually means lumbar, sacral, or cervical dislocation or lesions, or spinal spurs compressing nerves, causing paralysis and incontinence; hip injury or sphincter-nerve damage are other causes. Get MRI, CT, or X-ray promptly—delay lowers cure rate and risks permanent paralysis.
