Answer #1

take him to the vet.

Answer #2

I think you should watch him for a month or two and see how he does if hes not better by then take him to the vet.

Answer #3

Take him to a vet just to be safe,it could be just a stage,correct me if I’m wrong.

Answer #4

he needs a vet check up anyways at 5 weeks but as far as the walking funny, he is a baby and learning to run and balance as he does so, it sounds normal, but at his vet check up, they will let you know if there is any issues to be concerned about…dont be afraid or embarressed to ask the vet ANY question, thats what they are there for and its the only way for you to learn what you want to know. ..no question is a dumb one …you are wanting the best for your pet.

Answer #5

I agree with mysterywolf

Answer #6

You should be taking him to the vet anyway, as he will be needing his shots soon, and you can arrange that with your vet.
