Knuckling

Has anyone had a very young puppy where their feet would knuckle. I have a pup at about six weeks his front feet would knuckle. He straightened out and now at 9 weeks one of his back legs is doing it. He has grown a lot in the last two weeks and I hope this is what is the cause. Pup doesn’t seem to be in any pain and acts normal other wise

FROM my experience, it is painful. Try to keep them from jumping on cement, hard floors.
I changed feed to an "All Stage" food, Pro Plan Sport. The lower protein helped.
I also gave Cal-Tabs which can be bought from Amazon, your vet, or a pet store. Cal-Tabs are easier on their tummies and give the best Vitamin D supplement for them. Its a vitamin balance that the pup needs.

Also, cod liver oil helps. Walmart has the liquid, I did 1 cc in the am and 1 cc in the PM. It can cause loose stool, so just don't over do it.
