Her front legs were fine but it seemed as if she were dragging her back legs or not being able to lift them enough. My boyfriend is getting me worried because he keeps wondering if that is normal or not. I dont think she has been able to really run around too much, which may also be the problem. I appreciate any responses, thanks! |
You should see big changes each week now until 10 weeks of age -
They don't get up on their legs until about 4 weeks and then gradually get more coordinated each week - keep watching - by 6 weeks she should be going pretty good-
Some lines are different than others - I have some that are going strong at 5 weeks and some not till 6 or 7 are they are running around good.
