Newborn German Shepherd with stiff legs

My German Shepherd just had 9 puppies and one of the only girls has stiff legs and is crying unusually. She is 5 days old and seems like she is able to eat normally.

The other puppies are fine with no signs of stiffness. If you have any idea what the problem might be please let me know soon.






Hi
I'm afraid this is a question for your veterinarian and I recommend that you have him/her examine this pup asap.

Unusual vocalizations and stiff legs may suggest a neurological issue of some sort, or perhaps infection. However, only a vet can make an accurate diagnosis.

Sorry I couldn't help more, but I wish you the best of luck and hope that this puppy is doing much better soon.
