Tape the front legs together at the elbows,only tight enough that it will stay,better too loose than too tight as if it comes off you can re-tape. It shouldtake only a few days for the condition to correct. carolyn --- On Thu, 10/21/10, JJogra@xxxxxxx <JJogra@xxxxxxx> wrote: From: JJogra@xxxxxxx <JJogra@xxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Swimmer puppy To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, October 21, 2010, 8:33 AM I have one 2 1/2 week old puppy that is a swimmer. He is getting his hind legs underneath him now but his front legs continue to splay outward. How many of you have experience in this? I am always placing him on his side but I can only do this when at home. He seems better but I am concerned. Have you taped the front legs? If so, how? Where? and with what? Any words of advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks Joey ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2010.
