The right foot was doing that so I stopped the puppy food and started feeding him what the big dogs eat and it straighten out .I started him back on puppy food and the left leg is doing bit now so as of today hrs back on reg food .I think the puppy food has to much protein and the dog is growing to fast.

I had one do that and the vet took him off puppy food, put him on calcium vitamins, and told me to let him get plenty of sunshine. He straightened out but he's still bowlegged

The only time I feed puppy chow is to pregnant bitches and for awhile after pups are born. My pups get adult food as I have had this same thing happen.

Yeah, looks like rickets maybe. Like already noted, I'd feed adult feed. Also, if you live near any sandy areas, walking him on the sand is a good exercise for straightening them ankles back up.

he has a vitamin deficiency. You need to take him to your local vet and let him prescribe you with the right type vitamins and you will see a major differnece in a week or 2.
