10 Weeks Old, Visible Knuckling

10 Weeks Old, Knuckling Over

4 Months Old, Improvement on Knuckling. However now she is showing abnormal growth in the Right Leg. Tendons are more Lax than the left side, and leg Bows out at the Wrist joint. Possible Carpal Flexural Deformity, from what I read.

Closer shot of the Leg. 4 Months old.

We changed her food from Victor Hi Pro Plus, which seemed to nutrient Dense, to Royal Canine Giant Junior, which from the Nutritional Guide, seemed on Par for her Nutrient needs.

It occurred to us that our puppy was growing to fast, and given that her front legs bare most of her weight. We needed to slow the growth, and make some lifestyle changes for her.

We added traction mats over all our hardwood floors, to prevent her paws from slipping sideways.

From the Looks of it. She appears to walking more on her toes, than with the pads of her paws. This is just an observation, and completely based of a comparison to our 2 Year old Blue Dane. Who had no growth issues to speak of, and was raised on a combination of Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy, and Honest Kitchen Whole grain Dehydrated (Force).

5 Months old. X-Ray of the Front legs, Top Down.

5 Months Old, Xray of the Right Front only.
