Eight week old puppy appears "drunk"
I just had my wife on the phone saying that one of our two eight week old pups has a bit of the wobbles in her back legs this evening, and is moving a bit slowly, and "as if she's drunk". Also said she's been really clingy this afternoon/evening.
Is this anything we should be worried about? They had a lot of play time in the back yard today, and we've just switched them to raw food in the last 48 hours.
The only other thing I can think of is I saw one of our kids lean rather heavily on the hind quarters of one of the pups this morning, although I can't remember which one. My wife has taken Millie to bed with her to keep an eye on her and I will check as well when I get home in a couple of hours.
Any thoughts?

Not a clue but if it were mine, I'd get him checked out if it were still happening when I got home.

Wife says she seems better so she's back in with her sister. We'll check her again in the morning. Thanks

She seems fine this morning. Found some loose, jelly like poo and a poo with some fresh blood and a fish fin in it, so maybe she just had a tummy ache. She's eating this morning and fighting with her sister so can't be too bad hey!
Many thanks
Many thanks

Keep an eye on her. It's probably nothing, but if it continues a trip to the vet may be in order.

Yes she appears fine. We've switched them to a raw meat diet and it seems a piece of fish (fin or bone?) was causing her some discomfort. We've modified what we are feeding them and they both seem fine now. Thanks.
