 New puppy - Leg Deformity Question
Hi all, I've always lurked around YorkieTalk, however this is my first post!
I have 6 very healthy little babys that are 6 weeks old... however this week my husband and I noticed one of the babies legs has a deformity. The front right leg is much smaller, causing the puppy to limp when walking. When we examined the leg closer we concluded that it is a joint deformity... where it seems the bone did not get to it's potential growth.
Other than that, the puppy is healthy... playing, wags it's tail, etc.
We really love this puppy and we beleive that we will find him a good home, but before we find his new parents we would like to know if there is anything we can do to help the pups deformed leg?
Would excersizing it or anything help?
I've done some research and cannot find anything specific to this deformity, other than it could be a congenital disorder with the chromosomes, or dwarfism.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
