pup with rickets

[Guest chook]

If your pup has rickets you would know about it, it starts off with pain first then - the legs will either bow out or they have been known to bow in,

if you pup does have rickets then you need to see a vet asap.

 

This may explain a little more.

I bought 2 saluki X puppies a couple of weeks back, 1 of them looked a little under nourished, very boney.

I feed them Beta puppy food, which is a good brand and has all the essential vits minerals etc for growing puppies.

The skinny pup had put on weight and is looking a picture of health, then out of the blue yesterday morning her front legs bowed and she looks like she has rickets, she is going to the vet this morning to check her out.

I feed my dogs the best food they have great living quarters and are very well looked after, so noone can say it is poor diet or badly looked after on my part.

 

Just out of curiosity Munsterlurcher did your puppy come from S.yorkshire-Barnsley?

Got back from the vet this morning, they have bandaged the front legs and will have to wait for them to strengthen themselves, its like what you said there pitindall.. growing fast, not Rickets.

MUNSTERLUCHER - has rickets been diagnosed by a vet or perhaps is your puppy's legs just developing? Maybe you are just worrying too much and listening to old wives tales? Feed it on good quality natural food.
