I used a braided rug so he could get some traction with his hind legs when he crawled around. After working with the puppy for a week or so the puppy started walking on his own. By the time he was 8 weeks old he was perfectly normal. Is your puppy over weight? I hope it is just a matter of him needing to exercise his legs so he can build up some muscles. |
O this all sounds promising. She is not at all overweight. She is 4 weeks and 12 oz. I will work with her back legs to help her stregthen her muscles. Keep your fingers crossed everyone.
