Is he overweight, is there something wrong with his back legs, or is he just taking his time getting started & I am being paranoid?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |
You might google "swimmer puppy" if that is what is wrong there are ways to help them get on their feet and avoid chest deformities that can occur being on it all the time. Hopefully that is not the case and he is just a little slower in development, but I would check it out and make sure. Let us know what happens!
