    If the dog is already a teenager and can't get up on its hind legs, we can take the following measures:

    1.First of all, considering the age of the dog, it may be due to a problem caused by nerve compression or a tumor within the lumbar spine. Therefore, it is recommended to touch the dog's whole body first, observe whether there are strange bumps, lumps, hard lumps, etc., and check whether the hind limbs are cold and whether the blood flow is not smooth.

    2.If you find that there is no pain response at the end of the limb during the self-examination at home, you can try gently pulling the hind leg out to see if it can be retracted in time, and if there is pain when it is withdrawn, and whether the movement is abnormal.

    3.If there is a suspicion that the dog has lumbar spine problems, X-rays can be taken for diagnosis.

    4.If the dog's hind leg weakness symptoms are caused by age or deterioration of physical functions, you can consider buying special dog calcium tablets to supplement the dog's calcium, strengthen bones, and relieve the symptoms of hind leg weakness.

    5.In addition, when the dog gets older, the absorption function will decline, at this time, the dog can be fed nutritional paste to supplement nutrition and enhance the dog's absorption capacity.

    6.In addition to the above measures, appropriate exercise is also required. You can take your dog for a walk to enhance your dog's physique.

    The above is a solution for the dog's hind legs and cannot get up, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital immediately for diagnosis and**.

    First of all. It will be recommended to be conservative** for the dog, and in the case of backward weakness, you can use certain aids (can be self-made) to assist it to stand up and exercise appropriately.

    A certain amount of analgesic injections can be administered.

    Secondly, the dog's 13-year-old age is indeed on the older side, and sometimes, the more rational choice should be to give euthanasia.

    But it will be emotionally difficult for individuals to accept.

    These need to be considered comprehensively by yourself, and I hope you can.

    7.Long-term calcium deficiency: Long-term calcium deficiency in elderly Liangxiao dogs can lead to weakness in the hind limbs and inability to stand. At this time, the dog needs to supplement calcium and eat some pet-specific liquid calcium or calcium tablets to increase the calcium demand.
