Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Oh no! Poor Poplin What antibiotics were prescribed? I would stop them and call your Vet immediately. He should be rechecked today or be taken to an open emergency room. Metronodazole can causes vestibular signs. Other causes for young dogs to have walking problems are meningitis, tick borne diseases, granulomatous brain disease, viral infections like distemper. I would have him seen as soon as your can. I wish you the best!
