My bulldog walks on his tiptoes...

[EmmittPylate]

Hi all I am new to the bulldog world!! I have a 9 wk old puppy and he walks on his front tiptoes.. I read that this could be a genetic defect. He has a vet apt tomorrow but I wanted to see if anyone knows anything about this.

Welcome...I have never heard of that. Please let us know what the vet says

Hi [MENTION=4335]EmmittPylate[/MENTION] -- welcome to EBN and the wonderful world of bulldogs! I never heard of the tip-toes before either. I do not of curled toes/paws being a neurological issue... PLEASE keep us posted on what the vet tell you.

Also, please post pictures of your new baby!

i don't know about dogs but in humans, kids walking on their toes is a sign of neurological problem

Ok so I just got back from the vet and he said that its just his bones are growing faster than his tendons so its making him stand on his tiptoes. As he grows they will go back to normal!! Whew what a relief!

Good News indeed!

 

[JAKEISGREAT]
