.....home remedies for this? When she arrived her legs were nice and straight but a mistake on my part of adding higher protein food to her diet caused a sudden bowing of her front legs. Decreased the protein but added milk and a B complex vitamin to her diet and that seemed to be taking care of the problem, so yesterday I didn't add the B complex to her bowl and today I noticed more buckling and bowing of the legs. Side note~I'm also adding some joint supplements to her feed each day.
Continue the B Complex and whole milk? Or is that a mistake? I never had this in a pup before....always fed them regular adult dog food and never had a problem but with this one I just happened to have some high pro on hand I wanted to get rid of and mixed it in with the regular food about a week after she arrived....a few days of that and I started noticing the bowing.
I'm reading conflicting reports online.....give more high protein, they said in one place. It was the higher protein that started all of this, I do believe. Give less calcium, they said, but when I added some calcium supplements the bowing started to abate.
Anyone have experience with this?
