Ten to two!

Don't know if I have put this on the forum previously, but Luika, our 5 month old GSD has very strange back feet From the back he actually looks as though he is walking at ten to two!

His hips seem strong enough, but it really is bazaar! He almost runs like a little elephant from behind

I am taking him back to the vets in a couple of days to get his opionion. Any one else heard of this?

Re: Ten to two!

Sounds like Cow Hocks/ weak Hocks to me. Due to Luika's age it may be just the growing stage that is causing it although never rule out structural issues. Get the vet to check back etc... Hope Luika is okay

Cheers folks. Not heard of Cow Hocks before. He walks more like an elephant from behind
