Is there any one that can help me, I have a 10month old dog that seems to be pigeon toed on one of her front feet, can anybody give me some advice on how to correct it

It depends on whether it's her 'wrist', elbow or shoulder that's making her toe-in on that side.

Not sure the vet just said she is pigeon toed. She did use to throw her elbows out but that seems to have stopped, she use to look like she was lame on her front but she just turns her paw inwards. She sees a chiropractor but he never mentions her pigeon toe. As a young pub she grew very quickly and is a big girl and still a little bum high

My first dachsie has one foot that turn out but that is due to him jumping off the wall I had him stood on grooming him, he started to limp so took him to the vet, she couldn't find anything wrong and wasn't limping for her, he eventually stopped limping but that paw was turned out when fully mature, did speak to a vet and he said he had probably damaged the growth plate in one of the bones in his forearm and it had either stopped growing or the bone carried on growing for longer than was normal.

I would look at the possibility of trauma causing your dogs problem, inherited developmental faults are usually bilateral rather than unilateral.
