We bread my two boxers and the mother gave birth to seven pups. Its been five weeks now four of them are up and around chewing yipping playing. The other three however i am extreamly concerned we will have to put down very soon. They seem to have no balance what so ever, there head moves back and forth when trying to move and they fall to there side or face first every time they try to walk around. There development seems to be on par as they seem to be perfectly healthy sized dogs. They have made no improvements what so ever on there motor skills. Im wondering if this is something other people have seen, its extreamly sad as any dog person / animal lover would be to see three of your beautiful dogs be put down when they look so healthy.. they just cant walk at all every time they stand the head starts going and they smack over to one side... it actually kills me to watch it...

Good or bad news im looking for anything at this point...

I'm not a certified anytihng regarding dogs or animals, but the lack of development could mean they're just taking their time to grow. as long as they're feeding functionally and sleeping a good amount they could just be "Runts" of the batch yano?
I would ask a local vet for their opinion or a local breeder. you might want to try and get in touch with a boxer breeder specifically if for some reason there's a specific growing disadvantage for boxers. But at any rate, just try to give them a bit more time and call the breeder to get an idea of whats going on.
