As for his legs - the reason being his little hips are almost too flexible, and so his little legs sorta fly out to the side. The taping is supposed to help prevent them from becoming dislocated. I hope to find out more when we meet with his previous vet this weekend, and then take his records to OUR vet to see if he jives with the other vet. Hopefully we can get a good treatment plan going for little Howie to make sure he doesn't have problems with those hips down the road.  |
Ohhhh! That makes sense, the tape must help stabilize his hips, duh!
Well, he sure is a beautiful boy
I'm sure he has stolen your heart!
