Wales1234 5,490 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've got a beddy bull grey pup he's 10 weeks old and today noticed his front legs are bowing he runs a little bit then falls down any advice ? Thanks Quote Link to post
MikeTheDog 153 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 There's a thread here somewhere about this problem, I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction. Too much protein I think in the diet, his bones are growing too fast and being soft at this age they are being pulled by the slower growing tendons etc. Bet you're feeding it the wrong stuff!....If it's what I think it is it will right its self with the right diet.
