My Valentine was diagnosed with swimmers leg (I'm glad I didn't damage him when he was born). I've never heard of it till today, there is alot of information about it on the net, but it always seems to be the front legs (he has the back leg). Vet said he has a 60-70% chance of a good recovery.
I'm happy about that, but I am still not sure this is the correct diagnosis. I'll wait till he is a little older and bigger and take him to another vet to be sure.
Right now I am just glad he is doing well.
