My dog's back legs stopped working suddenly, no pain. What's next?

Question

My chihuahua, Joey 5 years old, in the middle of the night lost use of his legs. I’ve rubbed him all over and there doesn’t seem to be any pain. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Male | neutered | 6 years and 8 months old | 5 lbs

Hi, you should have him checked over as he could have a herniated disc in his spine or another spinal disease that will just get worse over the course of time and could eventually lead to permanent loss of use of back legs and troubles going to the toilet. Hope you can have Joey checked over ASAP.
