Sick pup

I have a 6 wk old lab. Male, He is kept in his kennel in the garage. This morning he looked fine. However my husband let me know that his hind quarters are dragging and he seems to be in great pain. I have not seen him for myself. What can I do for him this evening.

 Any time that you see neurological symptoms from a puppy, you need to seek vet care right away.  This is not a common occurence adn you should take it very seriouly.

And I hate to say it but there is nothing that you can do for the dog at home at this point. 

Your dog needs x-rays, a vet exam and a diagnosis and treatment.

Let me know if you still have questions.
