Weakness is unfortunately a very non specific symptoms. The first thing I would suspect could be causing such a sign in such a young dog would be gastrointestinal parasites. Make sure that your pup has been dewormed and has had its fecal sample checked for the presence of any remaining bugs. The diet you are using is fine, but please make sure that it is a large breed puppy specific diet. Any adult diet will not provide the appropriate nutrients to a puppy. Rabies vaccines are generally given to dogs 12 weeks and older. The combo shots are typically started at 8 weeks and then given every 4 weeks until 16 weeks of age. Hope this helps.
