EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I have some gel based palatable vitamins to giver her but not sure how long to give them to her? Til signs r gone? Or few a few weeks?

If it has crooked legs... I've had best results with feeding the lowest quality food possible for about a week.  Low protein and fat. I think it lets the other bones catch up.  I've used the method 3 times.

She has one crooked leg looks kinda bad to me but doesn't seem to bother her just ain't rite u no but I've had people tell me outside of this site that she just needs vitamins and that high protein dog food is what caused it I don't disagree with that at all but no one can tell me how long to give the vitamins. I don't mind giving them to her until it's gone just wanted to no if anyone has had this before? And what they did? Or what worked for them? And mainly will she grow out of it or is it a long term handicap?

I had a cur pup with both front legs crooked. I put a PVC cast on them wrapped with vet wrap for 2 days and dog walked great after that. Never had an issue again. I cut 2" PVC in half and wrapped leg first then wrapped the PVC pipe

Ok the joint at her paw is what looks the worse instead of bending the way it should th joint is turning to her right she doesn't walk on the side of her paw or anything. Image balling ur fist and crawling on ur fists amd ur but ur wrist being turned into and putting all ur weight on ur pinky fingers is what it looks like on the leg that is bowed

I would try the low protein diet for the duration of the vitamins and see if them combined would help straighten her out. Aren't you feeding a real high protein dog food now?

Yes I'm feeding the retriever brand in the blue bag I believe it's 27/17 or something like that.. It's the same thing u r feeding..

I had this issue with a cur puppy a while back.  Started him on vitamins a, d & e daily and he straightened up in no time.

That cur pups front feet turned in like your saying. The splints worked for me

Its usually from feeding too high % of protein and resulting explosion of bone growth. Like previously stated, feed lowest protein you can find 18-20% protein, he'll catch up and straighten out

Ok thanx for the input I've made the adjustments with the food and has the pup on vitamins so time will tell haha

I saw it once from a litter 6 yrs ago, only 1 pup got it....and I can't remember the details. I think good doses of cod liver oil was the key.....
