    shih tzu puppy

    hi, i recently went to look at a shih tzu puppy . it was not good .  the puppy, brindle in colour was beautiful. he was meant to be 9 weeks old but appeared to be a bit small . when he walked on the floor his back legs tended to splay out . although he could walk on his own he didnt want to walk to far.
     
    we didnt see the parents they apparently were out down at the stable ...   any ideas what could be wrong with him

    Hmmm.... what kind of floor was he on?  Sometimes being on tile or lineolium or even hard woood floors can make them splay out.  If considering taking this pup, I would ask to see the parents and also ask the breeder about what their policies are. If I were interested I would say I will take the pup pending a vet check by my vet or vet of my choice.
