I own a female Golden Retriever called Amber. She's about 4 months
old. She's suddenly developed weak hind legs. She struggles to get up
and when she does get up and takes some steps, her legs look bent. Her
appetite is good and all her bodily functions are okay. She is also
full of puppy mischief. There are no signs of injury and if I hold her
hind legs and try to stretch them, there are no apparent signs of pain
from her.
Can someone help?

Your Vet! None of us can assess a dog we have never seen over
the internet and it would be irresponsible to do so.

It sounds like a Vet visit is in order. Please consider
hip x-rays as well as anything else your Vet reommends.

Thanks for your input and your concern. I had been consulting a vet
and wasn't making much headway which is why I had posted here. The
second vet I consulted (on the recommendation of the first vet)said it
could be a genetic defect. He put Amber on a 10-day course of
medicines and said that there was not much chance of recovery and it
would be kinder to put her to sleep after observing developments for a
month or so.
However, over the last few days she has started getting up and walking
around with a waddling gait. This has infused fresh hope within us and
especially my 12-year-old son. Thanks again.
