Why is my dog weak in all four limbs and unable to stand?
Expert Answer
A dog that is weak in all four limbs and cannot stand may have symptoms from calcium deficiency or low blood sugar. First, if the dog’s daily diet is monotonous and long on low-calcium food, calcium deficiency can affect bone development and cause limb weakness.
Second, if the dog has not eaten for a long time, lack of nutrition leads to low blood sugar, which also makes it unable to stand.
Finally, poisoning or viral infection with frequent vomiting and diarrhea causing dehydration can leave the whole body weak. The owner should take the dog to a vet promptly to determine the specific cause and treat it in time.
