| Back question "Look Ma, Im eating my dinner!" Does anyone else's yorkie always hunch their back like this? Half the time Rocky stands as if his front legs are shorter. Can this cause any problems?

| I am no expert but I owuld guess his front legs being shorter cause his weight to shift foward in direction of the heart and lungs putting presure on these and also more weight on his front legs than on the back causing problems like athritis. |

My furkids Donating Member | Sadie does but, I believe she has roach back...I noticed her back wasnt' really straight when she was a puppy...I didn't know anything about roach back until I became a member here. She isn't really bad but, you can certainly tell the difference between Sadie and our new puppies posture.
