| Hunch back Our new puppy, Jewels walks with a little bit of a hunch to her back. Does this mean something may be wrong with her. She is also only 8 weeks old. Is it her age?

| It is hard to say. I would ask your vet to check her out the next time you take her in for her shots. Even if it isn't anything you will feel better. |

| I donnou if the hutch on the back is directly linked to any health condition..i personally do not think so...but i did notice that some yorkies with luxating patella do have it...so check with your vet to be on the safe side. |

| She could have a kidney infection. Just something to check on. I'm not a vet, but I do know they hunch over when their kidneys hurt. |

| It may be something as simple as "roach back". But if you are worried about it please take your pup in to be seen.
