dogs off balance

Question
i have a 7 month old lab shepherd mix and his balance seems to be off.  He stumbles when he walks sometimes and is knocked over easily.  Is there something wrong with him or is this normal given his age?

Answer
Hi Steve,

Thank you for writing to me about your 7 month old Lab Shep X.

The behavior you describe should be addressed by a vet.  From your description it is difficult to tell if this involves is a medical condition but if this was my dog I would bring him to the vet for a full blood workup as soon as possible.

Best,
