My recently adopted puppy, whom I think is a great dane seems to have bow legs. When we picked him up on Monday I didn't think they were bow-legged at all, but now they seem to be and he seems a little stiff walking on them. We are taking him to the vet tomorrow to have them checked out but in the mean time:
Is there anything I can do to help him?
Is it likely that he'll grow out of it or should I be worried about it staying this way?
I know he is in a growth spurt and didn't know if that was part of it
There are supplements out there that help The link below is my favorite for joint problems (or to prevent them) I have all my bostons on it and the Optigest pre-pro biotic.
Thanks guys...I'm hoping the vet can help him and maybe try those supplements...they aren't terrible, he just looks a little uncomfortable and I don't want him to feel that way
I'm glad you're taking him to the vet...and I second on reading the GreatDane Ladie's stuff. She has some pics and advice on Dane nutrition, etc. Good Luck and congrats on your pup!
The vet says that he is a great dane...at least partly and that his bow-leggedness is just him having growth spurts and needing to grow into them lol so it seems that he will be ok
