What do you mean by knuckling over? Put a pic up.

Just be carefull giving calcium supplements to pups can do more harm than good, like the 2 bones in the legs growing at different rates etc should come good once the muscle and tendons strengthen.

On me phone carnt get pic up.also heard to exercise and not to exercise what would you do

[roybo 2,873]

Just let it do its own thing at that age , just let it exercise it's self round the garden and home

[roybo 2,873]

It should get all the calcium it needs in a few chicken wings or thighs

If its knuckling over that could mean the bones are growing to fast and the tendons/muscles are pulling to tight as there not catching up, you may need to slow the growth down, best thing you can do is take the pup to a vet and get confirmation of this, then go from there.

It's normal for pups to have knuckle

Very hard to bring right that if it's gone to far especially for a running dog I had to put my pup PTS over it no quality of life
