What is the disease of a golden retriever whose hind legs are weak and difficult to stand up?

Weakness of the golden retriever's hind legs and difficulty in standing up may be caused by joint inflammation or hip joint disease. It also depends on whether there are fractures, trauma, etc. Malnutrition or calcium deficiency may also lead to weakness in the golden retriever's hind legs. It is difficult to find out what the specific disease or cause is. It is recommended to go to the hospital to take a X-ray examination and provide targeted treatment according to the specific cause.

Tips:

Pay attention to controlling the amount of exercise your golden retriever gets. Excessive exercise may make the dog more susceptible to joint diseases, and you should also pay attention to nutritional supplements.
