Something's wrong with my puppy Hello everyone. This is my first post. Something really weird happened to my 5 week old female puppy (out of a litter of 6). Her back legs went out. She hasn't lost her appetite nor does she seem to be in pain. She continues to play and be energetic and can stand and give a few steps before her legs give out. I'm not sure what's going on as she was perfectly fine and all of a sudden this. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I am planning on taking her to the vet on Saturday. :( |

She needs to be seen by a vet. We can share experiences but it won't really help until you have a proper diagnosis. Good luck, and I'm sorry your first post has to be for help. |
Did you say 5 weeks? Are you the breeder, as that is way too young for a baby to be taken from her mom. I hope that all goes well at the vets, you and your little one will be in my prayers. |
Why are you waiting until Saturday? Please take her in now! |
Did your puppy just recently get a vaccination if so how long ago? This is neurological so get your pup to neurologist if vet cannot figure this out from blood work run for infectious disease and checking liver enzymes. If nothing shows up on blood work get your dog to a neurologist NOW. If it were me i would just go straight to neurologist as they can do all the testing there for everything and do a full neurological exam before any testing. I am so sorry this seems to be happening alot recently here :( |
Thanks to everyone for the advice, Quote:

Wasn't there a pup on here that had something called swimmers legs or something like that? |
Hi. I don't believe she has swimmer's legs. She was born fine. It happened suddenly and she can walk (even run) but the legs give out suddenly. Thank you for the comment though. |
Hope that all goes well at the vet today. Prayers going out for her. |
