My new foal's legs look wonky. Is this normal or will they straighten?

Hello. This is most likely just due to how the puppy developed in utero. Hopefully, with time, the legs will strengthen. You can very gently manipulate the legs, doing range of motion exercises, but it would be best to have your veterinarian examine the puppy & show you the best way to help this little one.

She is so cute! This is likely just a normal malformation. I would make sure she is getting good nutrition and this make correct itself. If it doesn't, she will likely have a normal life and not have issues with this. If she is having trouble walking, I would have your vet take a look at her to see what options there are for correcting this. I hope this helps !

It is too early to tell, at least from the pictures, you will probably have to wait a few days to see how it plays out. if in a couple of weeks you are still not sure you should have it checked by your vet.

Hello. This pup has a deformity that involves the joints of the rear legs. You should have your veterinarian assess the puppy immediately and see if there is a way to tape or wrap them to help. This will probably not correct in its own without some type of support wrap and physical therapy and even then it may not get better. Please have your vet examine the puppy ASAP.

Best take the litter and mom to your vet and have the legs of the kitten assessed. Depending on the type of "bend", it may be possible to put them into the right position with orthopedic aids. Without seeing the deformation in person and being able to palpate or xray the legs, it is not possible to assess it. Best make an appointment with your veterinarian.

Congrats on the adoption! The leg positioning is sometimes called "Queen Anne" legs, or leg splay, and is very common in short-legged long-bodied dogs such as Dachshunds or Basset Hounds. While it doesn't usually cause any harm and isn't dangerous in minor cases, it can sometimes cause additional arthritis or joint issues down the line and sometimes requires surgical repair in severe cases, so preparing for proactive care such as a joint supplement and regular check-ups of the legs is a good idea. Since Sport's legs do look very splayed, a vet check up after adoption to make sure there isn't any arthritis present (and it isn't affecting any of the other tissues in the legs) is also smart.

There are a few follow up questions regarding Kiara. Is this new or has she always had this going on? If this is new then it can be trauma related or even a clot. If this has always been going on then it may be congenital. Ideally, she would see a veterinarian for a full physical examination. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
