just had a litter all fine except one has a funny shaped back leg seems to go backwards[ which i know when there first born and lying feeding they do] but it,s the ankle bit it seems to be turned in.The vet said wait and see how it goes just wondered if any one else had had a similar prob it was the last one born and may well have been in a tight corner

i'd just watch it and see how it turns out, it might just be a little disfigured but i think you will be able to tell alot more as it gets older, when it's on all fours.  Take it for a second opinion and see what your vets say, as you said it might be because it was squeashed by the others.  I hope your pup is okay.

Warm regards Susan

This can happen in human babies that the feet are bent back due to lying badly in the womb.  I would massage the foot and hold it in the dorrect position, as it wouldn't hurt, that is what my freidn did to her sons feet.
