| Our Loki is just about 8-9 weeks old now. I have noticed it before but did not think about it much. When looking at him form behind he has a bow to his back legs. Is this normal? He also seems to have very knobby joints in his front legs. Please someone tell me I am getting worked-up for nothing or should I go to the vet again. |

| The knobby knees on the front are usually pretty normal...now I say this without seeing a picture...Wrench has begun growing out of them somewhat. The bowed back legs seemed to be him too and now are straight. |

Jager had this bowed leg look too till he reached 5-6 months it went away. It wasn’t when he was standing I only noticed it from behind when we went on walks. I think their little legs are so long they just don’t know how to walk!
I'd have to also see the knees to know if it looked odd. |
