i have posted here before about my tripod golden who is fighting Osteosarcoma. She is doing great. I just adopted a tripod lab/pit/mutt mix and i have some questions/concerns about her foot and her posture. A little about her ..... i am told she is about 11 months old. She was found as a stray at about 8 months old and had an old fracture or deformity to her left front leg. It was bent under at the wrist and healing that way. I dont know if the shelter in Georgia did xrays but they amputated in july. That is all healed and looks good. But her remaining front leg seems bowed and stunted (shorter then it should be to have her stand so her back is straight) and she walk with her foot turned in. She is actually walking on the outer part of her foot not on her pad. I am not sure if this is an adaptation from the other front leg being broken for some time or if she has some type of congenital deformity. When she walks, she is hunched over and almost walking on her elbow. I onow if i do not try to correct this she will end up with neck and back problems. She is small so that is in her favor. She is some type of lab/pit/ maybe hound mix. Right now she is 30 pounds but very skinny. She should probably weigh 40-45 pounds. The concept of pitting weight on a dog is foreign to me since i have always had golden and we all know that being skinny is not their problem. Haha. I am taking her to the vet this week and will be getting xrays. I am also going to take her to the rehab vet. Has anyone had an experience like this? Has anyone used a splint to straighten a front leg? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise she is doing great. Getting along with my golden and my pit mix. It has been 9 years since i had a puppy so that is a learning curve. She has already mastered the ramps that are already in place for my tripod golden. I will try to post some pics of her
