Lisa Ewan Webboard User Reg: 12-11-2005 Posts: 232 Loc: Manchester, U.K. Offline	Hi, I just wondered if anyone knows anything about why my 8 month old pups front feet are starting to turn out from the wrist down? I'm sure I've read somewhere that it's a deficiency in something but I can't find the site. Any help in this matter would be appreciated, thanks Lisa

I've looked into that and I don't really know how to know for sure if the balance is right. Arrrrgghh it's so frustrating. There is a product that is called Bonemeal Gold that is exactly balanced in calc/phos but I don't know whether adding that would cause more problems. Thanks again, Lisa
