Hi I have a Yorkie puppy born with rear flipper legs He is 4 weeks old. I took him to my vet and he said there is nothing that can be done. No surgery nothing. Just wondering if any one has seen this? And what r his chances of getting any better?. He gets around some. But not much.He is very very tiny. He semms healthy his heart his good my vet says except this problem.Does anyone know what causes this? I bought a new male.He is the daddy of this puppy. This is the 1st litter he has produced . He has a good pedigree along with my female. I know about breeding . My female has a good pedigree also. Never seen this before.. My vet said it happened in the womb. IHe also said it would probably never happen again.. Just want to help this little fellow I call Grasshoper..
