All the puppies are walking but the biggest one.

We had a litter of puppies about 3 weeks ago and there was 7 but one died at birth, so out of the 6 we have left there is 1 not walking (the biggest puppy), the rest of them are getting around good for being only 3 weeks old.

Is there anyway that it could just not have learned to walk yet or do you think something could be wrong. Please let us know your opinion.





Hi Jose and Ashley
By three weeks old a puppy should be walking around, even if it's a bit clumsy and uncoordinated. If this biggest puppy isn't mobile at all in this way then there's something wrong.

I can only recommend that you take him to a veterinarian for a full check up to find out if there's a developmental, neurological problem or something else going on. The sooner you find out what's wrong the sooner you can help this little guy so I strongly suggest getting him examined asap.

Best of luck, hope he's up and about soon.
