Mrs A.R.D 53 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 check out the topic 'pups with carpal varus' in the running dog section, is it anything like that? Quote Link to post

rocky1 942 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 could be a lack of calicum in the dogs diet Quote Link to post
Mrs A.R.D 53 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 i wouldnt be guessing its lack of calcium. IF the dog has a balanced diet theres no need to supplement it. theres lots of things that can effect the bones of a growing pup and its not always to do with diet or excersize especially in the heavy larger boned breeds. Theres a chance it could just grow out of it, id keep a eye on it and if theres no pain or its not causing movement problems then i personaly wouldnt worry too much. atb mrs A 1 Quote Link to post
mrmen16 5 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 its lack off calcium mate, common thing in bull x give it some babbys milk with the highest calcium init 3 times a days for a month or two you will see a big difference Quote Link to post
