Could my pet's weak back legs be from cancer or kidney disease?

Question

Can IBD, GI cancer, or kidney disease cause back leg weakness?

Dr. Dayna, DVM, CVA · Accepted Answer

Any of these diseases can cause generalized weakness, which can be more evident in some areas than others. However, if you have a patient who has normal neurologic responses in the forelimbs, and abnormal responses in the hindlimbs then there is probably something different causing the clinical signs. I hope this helps. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
