Not a Vet But...
... I've had the problem myself... It is due to Vitamin D deficiency so UP the D... SUNSHINE during the time of yr in your area where Vit D sunshine is available(in the N E we have none in late fall, winter and early spring)... Cod Liver Oil gives Vit D for dawgs...humans are lucky enough to get to take capsules and not have to swallow yucky stuff...
Might want to be SURE it's rickets by seeing the vet so you do the right treatment. GOOD balanced diet, sunshine and cod liver oil should help if it is... and wont hurt if it's not....
Good Luck! Heather
