Puppy with problems

cbarajas112@comcast.net · Thu Jun 16, 2005 9:28 pm

Have a question. My parents chow had puppies 3 weks ago. She got pregnant from their other chow. One puppy died, and the other two survived. The bigger of the two is having a horrible time trying to stand on her back legs, she shakes and it looks like she is a little fish. She cries and cries. Her sister the smaller one walks just fine. I am making a vet appointment tomorrow, we are worried. Any ideas?

Awww,poor puppers. Do either of the parents have histories of bad hips/knees in their lineage? Could be a birth defect or an injury from birth. The things that come to mind are not good. (Dislocated hips, luxating patellas, etc) I hope the vet can help! Keep us updated please.

I am so sorry to hear about the little chowlings and hope the vet can bring some relief. I don't have anything to add to what OH Guest has said but please keep us posted. Good luck to your chowlings.
