That is a concerning sign and it would be best to bring Bennie to a vet ASAP for a complete exam and any tests such as bloodwork, especially if the issue has been ongoing for several weeks. Neurologic issues, muscular/joint issues, metabolic issues, etc can all have symptoms similar to this, so an exam is best to rule out underlying causes.
