5 or 6 wk puppy having trouble walking

Asked Apr 11, 2010, 04:09 PM — 61 Answers
I have a 5-6 wk old chihuahua/jack russell terrior mix puppy who just finished 3erd day of dewormer. But now since last night she has been having a hard time standing up..almost like she is to weak to stand But is fine everywhere else she is eating and drinking and even playing with us but not standing or walking around very well. I do know that one of the other pups had both his legs broke after all the pups being mulled by a larger dog (which is how we got her) could this problem be a side effect from the dewormer or because she was infested so badly and she learned how to walk with that belly and now that its smaller she is having problems..please help..I don't have a lot of money for the vet BUT will if it means her be better we have had er a wk now and totally in love with her

Make sure to get her into some sort of puppy socialization classes, and a manners class wouldn't hurt either. Dogs that leave the pack too early, are more prone to aggression issues.

first of all I don't know why you have her if you have no money? I would take her to the vet and get her checked out and make sure she is alright and give her as much care as possible

She said "i don't have a lot of money for the vet BUT will if it means her be better"
She did not say she had NO money, she was just saying that she didn't want to spend it unless she had to.

Hi twinkie, she didn't say she didn't have ANY money, she said she didn't have a lot. But would take the pup to the vet if need be. And she has stated that she will be taking the pup to the vet, but wanted to get some ideas of what it could be.
