 Okay folks, here's the latest. Anyone heard of this?

“congenital deformity of both tibias with incongruent proximal and
distal joints and external rotation of the hock.”

So-called experts then said the dog will experience deterioration of his 
ligaments and possibly the onset of early arthritis.


Sounds to me like he's cow-hocked? Anyone out there that can comment?

This is an 8 month old male puppy. I should add that these same jerks 
over-rotated his hips and told the owners he had severe dysplasia - no xrays 
taken. When they went back for films, his hips were perfect, so they came up 
with this nonsense.
The owners are complete dog novices - first time dog owners in adult their 
adult lives, and they are in their 40s. Bought a perfectly normal, strong, 
healthy, active and happy 8-week-old puppy from a litter of 7 in May.
