| Swimmer Puppy Hi all Bella had he puppies 3 weeks ago Wed. we have 3 girls one boy. Last week we noticed one of the girls back legs would turn outwards & she would look like seal when she walked the others aren't like this. We are thinking she is a swimmer puppy her front legs are fine just the back ones are like that. We have since added blankets that are not all flat but have little mounds, I also have a bath mat rubber side up in there. I have been having her walk more and been moving the little legs in a bicycle motion to help untighten the muscles. My Question is how long does it take for the legs to be normal? Also does anyone else have some other therapy we could try on her? We have named her Little Foot

| Fat puppies have a tendency to do this. Usually by the time they are 5 weeks old they are getting around just fine. Just keep working with her and make sure she has some firm bedding to walk on. |
