Mork · 12-02-2013, 02:38 PM

Hi all,

My Mork is 12 weeks old and her front legs are VERY bowed. I've taken her to the Vet and the Vet has recommended a consultation with an Orthopedic Surgeon. She has an appointment for Wednesday and her legs appear to be getting better (but that could be wishful thinking on my part). I'm wondering if others here have had Yorkies with front legs that are bowed and what have been the causes? She doesn't appear to be in pain and plays like a crazy puppy. However, I'm still concerned about long term damage, I'm worried that she is in more pain than she is letting on, and I'm worried I won't be able to afford the care she needs. Is it common for Yorkie puppies to have front legs that are bowed? What are the normal causes of this?

Thanks
