So would they advise amputating the affected leg? It seems that it might be
easier on the dog, of course it depends on how the foot and leg look.
Interesting delemma. Cynthia

Experts do not agree on the precise cause of clubfoot. The exact genetic
mechanism of inheritance
has been extensively investigated using family studies and other
epidemiological methods. No
definitive conclusions have been reached as of the early 2000s, although a
Mendelian pattern of
inheritance is suspected. This may be due to the interaction of several
different inheritance patterns,
different patterns of development appearing as the same condition, or a complex
interaction between
genetic and environmental factors. The MSX1 gene has been associated with
clubfoot in animal
studies.
