My puppy has deformed back legs. Can they be fixed without surgery?

If it is congenital, there may be no cure or Kuky may require multiple surgeries. A nutritional deficiency may be corrected, but it is possible he will also be bow legged. You would need to have him physically examined by your veterinarian or a veterinary orthopedic specialist to make the determination.

This is a medical emergency, and this puppy needs to see a vet now. This will be extremely painful for him, and he needs pain medications right away. Do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. He also needs x-rays to determine how bad the fracture is, and if surgery is an option to repair it. If the fracture is really bad, amputation may be needed, but only a vet can decide that. Please take him into a vet immediately.

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The best thing to do is to have an X-ray of the legs done at your Vet. I would highly recommend a boarded orthopedic surgeon. The cause can be from a nutritional deficiency, genetic malformation or premature closure of the growth plates. There could be options of a brace or surgery to correct the leg. I do not recommend doing anything at home with out the supervision of a Veterinarian as things could worsen. Be sure that Trigger is on a commercial puppy food for large breed dogs. I hope this helps and I wish you and Trigger the best!

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.

Poor payal, she sounds like she is in severe pain. Xrays would be required to investigate for fractures, dislocations or growth defects but it is unlikely she would recover mobility without specialist surgical intervention and even with surgery she may never achieve normal or pain free movement

Without seeing Browny or any diagnostic images that may have been obtained I really can't speak about the accuracy of your vet's diagnosis. There certainly are spinal issues that can result in an inability to ambulate well in the hind end. Some of these can be traumatic, infectious, or congenital in origin. If there is a spinal problem and you want to obtain a permanent fix, the best thing to do would be to speak with a specialist. Specialty facilities have the ability to perform advanced imaging such as MRIs and CT Scans to identify the exact spot where the spinal issue resides. In the event of a bony spinal issue (versus a disk issue), identifying the problem can be done with basic x-rays. Depending on what the problem is the treatment to fix it will vary considerably, from medical therapy and rest, to a surgical procedure with significant recovery time. Hope this helps.

This could be a malformation or development problem. You will need to take this puppy to a veterinarian for an exam, best would be a veterinary orthopedic surgeon. Your puppy may need orthopedic care in order to facilitate normal use, if possible. I would need to do a hands-on exam in order to give you more conclusive information. Your puppy will definitely need radiographs as well in order to assess the condition properly. Please make an appointment with your veterinarian,
