My dog's back legs shake, he's throwing up, and won't eat. Why?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 8 years and 9 months old

So my dogs back two legs are starting to shake. He can’t stand for a long time or they’ll start shaking as well sometimes when he sits. Lastly, recently he’s been throwing up his food. He can’t eat too much or he’ll throw up and or he’ll seem like he doesn’t want to eat at all

It sounds like Nino may be in pain or weak, and I'm quite concerned about his symptoms. It's worrying he can't eat and he's throwing up, and I think he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into one immediately.
