My puppy cries in pain from his back and can't walk. What's wrong?

Question

My 4 month year old male puppy. There is something wrong with him. I picked him up and he started to cry in pain. I started peering him till I found out that the pain was coming from his lower back close to his butt. He walks weird and tries to close his hind legs. He can’t jump any more or stand on his hind legs. In the third photo is where I pet him and he starts to cry. Please help I’m very worried. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 3 months old

Your puppy may have an injury in his back, hips or knees, or something going on in his abdomen that is causing his pain. Because he is so young and there could be many different causes of his discomfort. I would recommend taking him into the vet to be examined as soon as possible. I would also watch him closely to make sure his stool is normal and that he is still wanting to eat and not vomiting. I hope this helps. Thanks reason package. Best of luck.
