I had a little girl born earlier this year with rear legs that turned inward and her toes curled under. I had her at an orthopedic vet's when she was only a few days old having her checked out. He checked her structure and recommended physical therapy for her and showed me what to do. It worked and she developed just fine but, if she hadn't showed good progress, we would have been doing some kind of binding to align the legs properly.

From my experience, I would say she needs to be checked out while you still have a window of opportunity before the bones set.
I have an appointment of Friday to take her into the vet.


Thank you.
