Why does my puppy have weak rear legs?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

You need to have your vet check this- this could be dysplasia, or a number of diseases. It is not normal.

If you just got your puppy and it has been a problem since you got him it could be because he wasn't exercised at all when he was little. If a dog is not allowed to walk or run around their leg muscles won't develop like they are supposed to.

Puppies have weak legs because like human babies, puppies have under developed muscles. It might take some time before these muscles will grow and mature and become stronger.
