My 3-month Lab puppy's back legs aren't working; why is he falling?

Question

My dog's age is 3months. Breed-labrador. It's been 2 weeks now my dogs back 2 legs are not working. He can stand but after walking few steps he falls. There is no sign of pain. He is absolutely fine he is eating properly. But he couldn't walk. Doctor has prescribed a injection called Trineurosol hv injection but it's been 1 week now there is no drastic change. He is still like that. It seems like he has no sense on his back legs. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | 2 months and 28 days old | 20.94 lbs

The Trineurosol is just a vitamin injection. That is not really treating anything. My suggestion would be to have him x-rayed. This can be a severe case of hip dysplasia or a problem with this spine (a protruding disk, a fractured vertebra, etc). He needs some stronger medications. If this is a neurological disorder then he needs steroids and if this is an orthopedic issue he needs strong non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. Start with the x-rays. This is not something you can treat at home with home remedies. Best wishes.
