A vet I know also recommended BoneMeal for such conditions.

Weird the extremes people will go to to avoid raw feeding, which is only about 19% protein. And it has bone meal and calcium right in it! And glucosamine and so many other things that puppy needs!

Chicken feet (cook them really well fo get rid of all the microbes chicken are walking in) are the best natural source of minerals, chondrointin,glucosomine, MSM , Hyluronic acid and all that good stuff this pup needs. Also make him a soup from soup bones. Feed him chicken flat bones and gristle. Also feed meat lightly cooked for digestion. Also this pup needs sun for vitamin "D" and fresh raw vegetables blended and mixed into food ( 2 table spoons per feeding for vitamin"C" and live enzymes) in order to provide the pup with ability to digest minerals. Mix this food with pasta. Keep the pup skinny. Make him grow SLOWLY by feeding him 90% of the volume of the food he would like to normally eat.
DO NOT FEED ANY COMMERCIAL DOG FOOD OR SUPPLEMENTS!!!
DO NOT OVER FEED THIS PUP.
This is a genetic problem seen in angulated show lines.
DO NOT BREED THIS DOG.
I firmly believe this is the best you can do for this pup.

Vom Mar,
When I think in terms of feeding... you can't beat raw or natural....with bone meal.
What are we looking at here... genetics or bad diet and poor
exercises.....or both Maybe? I would have to agree with Prager......This looks genetic.
Prager has more years than me, raising GSD's.
Most people, including me use mostly kibble for the dogs diet.
Kibbles will range from very bad...(just enough nutrition to keep the dog alive)
...to high quality, even better than what people eat. So shop around look at labels.
The highest price dog kibble is not aways this best dog kibble.
My horseshoer would say this puppy has way to much break-over....hoofs need to
be trimmed back a little. It looks like it has given into the weight of the puppy.

Many years ago, I owned a long haired GSD who was very flat on his pasterns as a pup. The vet said that he was growing too quickly for his ligaments to catch up. This was a very knowledgeable vet who had been practicising for many years. She prescribed Collocal D and vitamin c tablets and this worked in my instance. I hope this helps. Good luck with your pup. x

The first GSD that our family owned was from American Showlines and as a puppy her pasterns were exactly like this. Our veterinarian told us to go to the grocery store and find the crappiest low protein dog food we could find and feed her that. We did that and her pasterns improved greatly.

ok i agree with you low protien diet with reduction of weight thank you for your advice
by BabyEagle4U on 07 September 2010 - 02:09
I dunno, I agree with more protein. Your pup needs real protein like as in RAW meats not fortified protein in commercial. Can't you at least sear up some beef or chicken livers a few times a week ? Maybe do some uphill or inclined pacing therapy ?
I've never seen a pup like that, but I've seen young foals like this and it was almost a must to have them scale or walk uphill as therapy. Doing this for a week or two they pick up to normal. I've seen some yearlings straighten out once 100% grass fed too. With the foals, this is a tendon issue not the bone. JMO.
Good Luck.
