My old dog can't walk, hind legs stiff and dragging. What's wrong?

Question

My dog was caught in between the lift. Went for x ray and blood tests shows that his bone and health is ok. But he still cant walk now. Both his lower part of body and hind legs are stiff. He needs to drag his lower body to move. What happen to him? Can he recover back? My dog is quite old.. he’s 11 this year. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 24 lbs

Hi, he might be experiencing an herniated disc. You would not necessarily see it on xrays. I would recommend to monitor urination and defecation and consider what’s the best way forward considering age, prognosis and welfare. Your vet should be able to advise you considering these three factors. Sending you positive thoughts.
