Joan, tape the front legs together up close to the elbow. If she is a swimmer, it will correct in days; if not, no harm done. just be sure to check the tape as she grows.

I just noticed it yesterday morning when I picked her up to clean the whelping box. She is eating the same as her other sister and moving the same way. Both weigh 2 lbs now. Two girls in the litter... Yeah! I only noticed it because I picked her up.' Any suggestions? thanks, Joanne Conboy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
