Bowed Legs? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Do any of your little guys appear to have bowed legs? Standing straight up and looking forward?

I ask because I've been told by my vet that once there's a problem in one hip only a small percentage doesn't have it effect both. I'm not sure about front legs.

I think it's really cute, but I don't know if it's normal.

Callie has LP in both her back legs and her back legs are bowed a bit, we call her a cowgirl sometimes.
