My dog moves slowly and won’t stand; its hind leg hurts when it jumps — blood and X-ray tests were done but we still don’t know what’s wrong

Hind-leg pain and slow movement usually come from trauma, bone problems, or nerve issues. With no trauma and clear bones, nerve damage or ligament problems (neuritis, ligament injury) are likely. Get further tests to find the cause; the vet will also review diet, habits, and environment for neuritis triggers.

My dog moves slowly and its hind legs hurt when it hops

Hind-leg pain and slow movement in dogs usually come from trauma, skeletal problems, or nerve/ligament issues. If trauma and bones are ruled out, suspect nerve inflammation or ligament injury and pursue further testing.

My puppy suddenly ran around barking, had seizures, then collapsed panting — but recovered and still interacts with me

Sudden seizures, barking, and panting that quickly return to normal can point to neuritis or a paroxysmal pain condition such as bone spurs, disc herniation, or arthritis. See a vet for a full check. Neuritis from vitamin or mineral deficiency needs anti-inflammatory treatment plus nutritional support.

My cat was sleeping, suddenly jerked awake, fell, and had a seizure — why?

A cat that wakes, collapses, and convulses may have neuritis from intense nerve-muscle pain. See a vet to find the cause; neuritis is often from vitamin deficiency, so supplement alongside treatment.
