We woke up this morning around 9 to go get breakfast and when I set him down he just completely fell over! His back legs don't work! All the vets are closed until tomorrow and I can't afford an emergency vet unless it's a real emergency. Is this an emergency or will he be alright until tomorrow?
I would call this a "real emergency". Something is absolutely wrong if he can't use his back legs all of a sudden. Is it any better? Did he eat/drink? Does he seem "present" / with it? Did his bladder lose control? Check his gums and make sure they're pink and not white.
