It sounds like your dog is experiencing some distress with the shaking, panting, and difficulty moving. These symptoms can be concerning and may indicate a few potential issues such as pain, anxiety, or a more serious condition like a neurological problem or even a cardiovascular issue. Given that these symptoms have persisted and your dog is not using his back legs properly, it's important to take action.

First, try to keep your dog calm and comfortable. Ensure he has access to fresh water and is in a cool, quiet environment. Avoid any strenuous activity and keep him as relaxed as possible. Monitor his breathing and overall demeanor closely.

However, due to the severity and persistence of these symptoms, I strongly recommend that you seek veterinary attention as soon as possible. These signs could indicate a serious underlying condition that requires professional evaluation and treatment. A veterinarian will be able to perform a thorough examination and potentially run diagnostic tests to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions please ask us. Thank you.
