I had a Lab that also came up lame in the hindquarters, not once but twice over a period of time. I eventually figured it out, he was chewing on a piece of pressure treated wood he stole out of my shop without me knowing about it. His Vet confirmed it was the culprit and the paralysis passed quickly the next day.
So this has been on my mind all weekend after reading this. My yellow lab, Thatcher, had this happen to him very randomly. He was chasing a tennis ball and out of no where started dragging his back half around the yard freaking out! He was paralyzed in his back half. I was equally freaked out and the vet seemed to indicate that it's very rare. Since then, i've read or talked with 5 other owners who have had the "spinal embolism" in their dogs happen. Such a sad thing especially since you can't talk with the dog to let them know what's going on and how you are going to try to help them. IT's a sad place to be.
This was brought to the front of my mind after last weekend. Took my now yellow lab "Gus" swimming in the pond behind the house. After a while we headed back to the house and he had a since of panic to him and i noticed his tail was lifeless! I picked up the tennis ball to toss it which always gets his tail at full point and nothing happened. No wagging nothing. I googled it and immediately came up with "cold tail". Apparently it's a real thing and it's almost like a strain or sprain of the tail that happens with a lot of swimming and activity. My mind immediately thought of the embolism which freaked me out. Luckily it wasn't and after about 5 days of rest his tail has come back to life.
