when we first rescued Kosmo, our vet thought his legs were like that due to birth defects. He told us if Kos acted like he was limping or uncomfortable, we could give him 1-2 baby aspirin every 4 hrs. If that didn't help, he would give us an RX for Rimidyl. I sent his photos to a vet at the OU vet School in Norman (Ok) who specializes in hounds and without hesitation he said, "you'll see these defevts 95% of the time in Puppy mill dogs". Sure enough I did some digging, found his original owner and found out his Mama was only 3 when she died and had had 14 litters of pups and Kosmo was the last pup she gave birth to. She died even before he was completely weaned. I'm very grateful that 1. he ended up with us and 2. it doesn't stop him from being a VERY ACTIVE bundle of joy. When the weather is damp he does need the ASA, otherwise he does fine. I know, probably more than you wanted to know huh? Snooter kisses to all your furbabies

When you mentioned this at first I thought it was like Trolley, but Trolley didn't have the bow legs, his were short and straight, just the feet were turned out and not like this. That's why I thought Trolley's feet were just for balance
