puppy legs

I've had that problem..It comes from too much adult dog feed and the pup growing too fast for its legs to hold them up. I put popsickle on their legs with surgical tape and backed off on the feed a little bit and the problem took care of it self....Pups need puppy food with more calcium. Not adult high protein dog food..At least the first few weeks..

Feed

It's the feed or sometimes if a puppy hasn't been cared for properly an then all of a sudden it's getting what it should it causes leg problems. Puppy chow will sometimes cause the same thing. U can get calcium tablets that'll help straighten the problem out to.

Lack of Vitamin D. Only a few foods, including cod liver oil and fatty fish such as salmon and sardines, naturally contain high concentrations of vitamin D. Pups can also generate vitamin D from sunlight. .

Go to Walmart and get you a bottle of Cod Liver Oil. Give the pup a teaspoon a day for mild cases and 2 a day for worse cases. Give them plenty of sunshine and that should straighten them out.

Cod liver oil will help for sure
