That is definitely concerning. Young dogs can have problems such as hip dysplasia, a disorder called Legg Calf Perthes disease that causes damage to the hip, problems with the spine that can cause weakness, Among others. An evaluation by your veterinarian and possible X-rays may help identify the cause and develop a plan for treatment. I hope this gives you someplace to start! I hope he improves quickly!
