then he just falls over.I no hes only young but the other pups in the litter seemed to be stronger on there legs, is there something up with him. any advice would be grateful, thankyou
Answers:
I don't think you need to worry just yet, give him a bit more time to get steady on his feet, some puppy's need longer to get used to walking. However if he doesn't seem any better in a couple of weeks you should probably seek advice from a vet. Staffs are renowned for having weaker back legs, but this shouldn't apply to a staff this young.
Oh, its fine! My grandfather's dog Buddy did the same thing. He's now 10 weeks and stronger then ever. So just wait awhile before you worry. Monitor his growth and strength of his legs.
Good luck!
If you bought him at a pet store thers your answer, all dogs that are at pet stores come from puppy mills. Puppy mills are horrible!! go to "puppymills.com"
Take it to the vet.
If you bought your pup from a responsible breeder, give them a ring. If not take him to the vet for a checkup
Hopefully it's him just being immature and still getting used to walking and such. Was he the runt of the litter? That may explain why he is not as strong as his siblings. You could ask your vet when you take him in for his check-up/shots. They can monitor him and see if he gets any better as he gets older.
