 Re: leg problem?
With a pup so young I would have a vet look at it. Better safe then sorry especially if there is something wrong catching it early will give you an opportunity to better deal with an issue if there is one. Good luck! And by the way your pup is sooooo adorable

I don't have a clue. I second taking him to a vet. Plus please post more pictures of him.

 Re: leg problem?
Hope it is just a gangly puppy development phase, I know Gnash was all awkward at this age also. I would recommend doing some research for a vet that understands joints to get a solid opinion, best way might be to search for a vet who routinely does OFA x-rays, these dudes know the joints very well and will guide you correct.

 Re: leg problem?
Casey's leg does this exact same thing! Well, it sounds it anyways. It like..shakes like it's bent at a weird angle or something. I just figured it was because it was bent weird but it's still had me a bit worried. It actually hasn't done it lately that I've noticed. I was thinking about asking the vet about it the next time I'm in.

 Re: leg problem?
OMG he's adorable!
Not only a vet but an ortho I'd recommend. Considering this and the size of his knuckle joints in the other pictures, I'd have an expert look! Good luck!

 Re: leg problem?
What are you feeding your puppy? He may be lacking in some nutrients. Ortho vet suggestion would be the first place to start. He is a cutie.

 Re: leg problem?
I agree its very important to have the correct nutrition for larger breed puppies because of the way they grow. I'd take him to the vet first off; his joints do look odd and I personally would be quite concerned. And I be sure to find a good quality puppy food designed for large breed pups.
