Picture of pup with f****d legs?

[Ideation 8,216]

Do you remember that picture that was on here with the pup that had bent legs? What was wrong with it, my mate has a terrier pup that has it in one leg he thinks? I've not seen the pup.

yea i remember , but cant remember the girls name

 

think its collie grey but not to sure

[Ideation 8,216]

Yes i think it was!

Osteochondrodysplasia - (form of dwarfism) can cause bendy legs but that seems unlikely if it's just one leg.

 

Viral infections can cause it too - more likely.

I haven,t seen the pictures you mention , if the legs are bowed it could be rickets , calcium injection and calcium / vitamin enriched diet can sort it. ATB

gonna say the same thing rickets

 

lack of calcium

so can line breeding too close,father daughter etc.

Yer i was thinking rickets but apparently the leg is bending inwards - i'd have expected it to bow outwards if it was rickets.

Could be to much Protien in the Food.A Mate of mine was Giving his Dog De Bordeaux Pups 29% Protein in teir Food and Caused them to Have Bent Legs

Not sure it was a wee saluki looking pup i think with all four legs bowed inwards at the knuckle.

Ideation, is there bull blood in the terriers make-up??

 

Yep, it was collie/grey who had the problem with her bull blood lurcher. If i'm right on a drop of bull blood, find and read the posts and don't give the pup any free running.

Thats it. Far to common. Caused by to much protein in diet and to young for muscle bulk. A pup shouldnt be given so much exersise that it builds muscle like the hulk. Save the high protien food and the heavy work for once they have finished growing.
