Could be a combination of to much protein causing hollow spots and not enough calcium causing soft bones ... easy fix lower the protein intake and add calcium to the diet ... limit the pups movement until it gets fixed ......

I’ll give the lower protein a go and I’ll go and separate her from her brother so they stop play fighting and cut her movement out thanks

I kept a bitch pup back that had front legs bowing slightly forwards and slightly splayed feet, it was not noticeable at first, but that bitch was fast aggressive a very good hare killer and lamper never injured and a good long career.

Not disputing that tc, but he needs advice on the problems he's encountering, not something that one of your dogs was able to do overcome

I don’t own the dam do you the bitch pup

I don't no what you mean why would I own the dam.

My last pup had same problem with bowing in front legs gave her calcium tablets for 2 weeks and sorted it.[NO TEXT TALK] I no had same problem with bowing in front legs gave calacium tablets and all had a good outcome and pups came good.

As said to much protein or lack of calcium causes it in most cases it's lack of calcium I was told by a vet.

[mighty celt 996]

I’ve got a 5 month old saluki x pup I notice her front legs bowed at the wrist about 6 week ago few dog men told me it’s lack of calcium from the dam so i give her vitamin c never really made a difference so I started about 2 week ago giving her bone builder still no difference and don’t no if I should kennel her on her own as she’s in kennel with her brother and cut her walking down any advice would be appreciated
