Question
Our 8wk old pup just started walking funny yesterday. Unlike before, he is now putting almost all of his weight on his toes and it seems that he is bowlegged. We can't get him to a vet till later this week, but I was wondering if you all could help. Thanks a lot!

Answer
This often happens with very young puppies and most of the time they out grow it. It's a nutritional deficiency of sorts. Your vet will probably make recommendations but a quality diet and limited exercise is best until this corrects itself. Don't restrict his play but don't let him get exhausted either.
