my grand daughter bought a english pup has had it about 3 wks it was on the side i wormed it hes lookin pretty good now gaining weight i dont pay alot of atteion to it but she came up to the barn said her pup had a hurt foot i went looked at it for her i think it has richeets its frt legs are swelled up from the fist joint down and both legs are bowed never really dealed with it but sounds like that is what it is going to the vet thursday just wondering if anybody has any other input

Puppy

Start putting calcium to it twice a day . Soak it in it's
feed and make sure it has Vitamin D in it if you get for
people at Walmart or some place else . I always give
my pups calcium after weaning untill they are 8 months
old . Your pup should be much better in a couple of weeks .

thanks mr holstein

found this on google for rickets

1 - Add a liquid vitamin D supplement for dogs. If you are averse to supplementation, increase your dog's exposure to sunlight as an alternative. This is a simple and natural way to ensure that his vitamin D levels rise.

2 - Add cod liver oil to each of your pet's meals. This will add vitamins A, D and E to his diet.
