My Golden Retriever suddenly can’t stand on its hind legs. I sit it up but it can’t stay; front legs paddle for balance, then it falls at 90°. It’s alert, wants to get up, squeaks, still eats/drinks (with help), and can’t control bladder/bowels.
Sudden hind-leg paralysis may be from spinal injury/fracture, dislocation pressing nerves, spinal degeneration, hip dislocation, hind-leg fracture, or brain issues. Goldens are prone to hip dysplasia, which also causes limb weakness. See a vet promptly for diagnosis and treatment.
My kitten was fine, but today its hind legs suddenly went paralyzed and it can’t walk—only the front legs move. What’s going on?
Sudden hind-leg paralysis is mainly from bone injury or nerve damage. Think back to any falls or trauma that could harm bone, muscle, or ligaments (X-ray can diagnose). Spinal or nerve damage can also cause it (CT needed). A physical exam alone isn't enough—see a vet promptly.
What happens if a dog is beaten and suffers internal injuries?
Internal injury may show painful whining, reluctance to move, tenderness at the spot, and appetite loss. Organ damage can cause bloody stool or urine; nerve damage may bring confusion, incontinence, seizures, paralysis. See a vet for blood tests, imaging, and neuro exams, then treat per results.
My hamster’s eyes were inflamed; I accidentally used an alcohol swab to clean them and now its hind legs won’t move.
Alcohol is irritating and shouldn't be used on a hamster's eyes. The paralyzed hind legs may be from other issues—spinal, nerve, or nutritional problems. See a vet to find the cause; spinal or nerve damage and nutrient deficiency can both cause hind-leg paralysis.

What happens if a dog has a severe tapeworm infection?
Severe tapeworms cause digestive symptoms like abnormal appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stool, and can lead to intestinal blockage, intussusception, or rupture. Long-term infection causes malnutrition, anemia, and low immunity; heavy infection can press nerves and cause spasms. Use praziquantel and add nutrition.
