Hey Guys

My 3 months old labra isnt able to walk properly and the condition seems to be getting worse with time. Here is a video that shows his present condition.

What Vets say?
The part of world I live in, Vet science isnt very well developed and docs are just guessing and injecting anything and everything they can find on the shelves. The condition didn't improve... so I decided to put it online. So, I am pretty much depending upon help from you guys.

Here is the video

How long have you had him? Was he like this when you got him? Have you spoken to his breeder? It looks like there is something very wrong with him there.

I am not an expert by any means but, it seems to me that your puppy's problem is neurological in origin. I recall reading a post by another member a while back who had a puppy with similar issues. I'll try to find it for you.

Hopefully, Mr. Vega who is studying to be a veterinarian will see this post. He may have some idea of what is wrong.

Found the post. Up at the top of the screen you will see "search." Type in "cerebellar abiotrophy." Click on posts. There is a video that shows a dog displaying symptoms of this disorder. You may recognise the way this dog moves. I hope this isn't the problem.

My computer won't let me see the video(s) so don't know how it looks or if any info there! But can quote you from my Dog Owner's home Veterinary Handbook. Keep in mind this book was printed in 2000 so is 9-10 yrs. old. Maybe they have found a cure since then but I doubt it. Quote:Cerebellar Diseases

Cerebellar Degeneration----a slowly progressive disease in which there is a death of nerve cells in the cerebellum. The disease has been described in numerous breeds, including the Labrador Retriever. (Won't list the other breeds here). Affected puppies appear normal for the first two months of life, but then begin to show uncoordinated body movements such as jerking, stumbling, falling and overreaching with the paws. Although there is no cure, cerebellar degeneration stabilizes in some puppies, allowing them to remain active.

Cerebellar Hypoplasia-----a condition in which the cerebellum is abnormally small at birth. A nonhereditary form has been described in Labrador Retrievers
(as well as a few other breeds). Signs are similar to those of cerebellar degeneration, but are observed shortly after birth when puppies first begin to crawl. SOME PUPPIES COMPENSATE AND MAKE GOOD PETS.

If this is what your pup has (and it sounds like it) and if there is no cure (and it sounds like it) I would want to stop with all these useless injections which may be harming your dog--now or in the long run--poor baby.

I am very sorry your puppy is going through this.

Sounds like as others have said Ataxia.
Here is a link that may be helpful.
Examples of ataxia

If you go to youtube and type in dogs with Ataxia you will find tons of video's
