I cannot provide a comprehensive answer to your query, as the search results do not contain information about neurological issues causing limping in dogs. However, the search results do discuss hip dysplasia in dogs.
Hip dysplasia in dogs is abnormal development of the hip joint, usually in larger breeds. Clinical signs include a decreased ability to endure exercise, lameness in the hind limbs, reluctance to climb stairs, and pain with hip movement. The abnormality of the hip joint in the affected dog develops after birth, leading to weakening of the supportive tissue around the hip joint and separation of the femoral head from the socket (acetabulum) of the pelvis, which can later lead to degenerative joint disease. No single factor has been associated with the abnormal development, but growth rate, extent of exercise, nutrition, and hereditary factors influence the incidence of the disease. Occurrence in the parents greatly increases the likelihood of occurrence in offspring. Radiography is helpful in diagnosis. Medical and surgical treatments have been used with variable success. The treatments are not curative, but they may greatly relieve the dog’s discomfort and slow progression of the disease.
