Bowed legs on pup

[lampingmad1 54]

I’ve got a 5 month old saluki x pup I notice her front legs bowed at the wrist about 6 week ago few dog men told me it’s lack of calcium from the dam so i give her vitamin c never really made a difference so I started about 2 week ago giving her bone builder still no difference and don’t no if I should kennel her on her own as she’s in kennel with her brother and cut her walking down any advice would be appreciated

Take the dog to a bone man

I was thinking that and see what they say

Why give just Vit C for a calcium deficiency? Give it soft bones with calcium supplements (lamb belly bones etc) along with Vit C, it'll to absorb the calcium a lot better

take it to a good vet. There's leg problems in some inbred pure salukis, not saying its that mind, just worth mentioning

To much protein in the diet can give a pup bowed legs. 

Don't no if its same thing as yours

You should be giving the bitch calcium tablets.

Is vitamin D not  best for calcium I thought.

Could be a combination of to much protein causing hollow spots and not enough calcium causing soft bones ... easy fix lower the protein intake and add calcium to the diet ... limit the pups movement until it gets fixed ......

Had to put a pup I had on a lower protein diet as this was starting to happen. It sorted it out within a few weeks

Increase the vitamin D in her diet. Also, when you say exercise, do NOT overdo it. 5 months old don't need miles of walking or running

I kept a bitch pup back that had front legs bowing slightly forwards and slightly splayed feet, it was not noticeable at first, but that bitch was fast aggressive a very good hare killer and lamper never injured and a good long career.
