My male puppy of 7 months has been battling with his back legs while walking and struggles to get up. I've noticed the limping has been on and off for over a week. He is still playful and has shown no signs of aggression. He still has a healthy appetite.

Poor Louie! Limping means he is in pain, so he's been in pain for a week now. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain medications you can give him, as many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I'd have him seen by a vet for this today to get this limping diagnosed and treated. I hope this helps!
