My Labrador puppy has diarrhea and walks funny. Is it hip dysplasia?

Question

Hello doctor . I adopted 38 days old Labrador recently as a new pet owner it's been worrying me as he has been having diarrhea since 1 day also his back bones are still not entirely developed as a result of this he can't walk properly and sways a lot, does bunny hop as well should I be worried for hip dysplasia? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 8 days old | 10 lbs

Those are both sort of concerning symptoms. and if his back is affected the diarrhea may be related. It would be best to bring Rakshak to a vet for evaluation to check for issues such as deformities, nerve damage, back problems, muscular issues, etc that may need to be addressed. 38 days is also still way too young to bring home a new puppy away from its mother as he is likely only starting to eat solid foods. Making sure he is on the right diet for his age is also a good idea to address the diarrhea.
