Wee puppy

Hi folks I have a wee male pup here at the mo., he was used as a football and had not been fed very well. Anyway he had his front left leg broken and has now been pinned but as you can see there is a problem with his right leg too. The vet x-rayed it but as there are no bones broken they feel he didn't need any treatment on it. With the lack of nutrition he is on calcium tablets. I was wondering if anyone has any advise on what else I could try.

OMG poor little man

forgot to say he is about 6mnths old but fortunately now he doesn't seem to be in pain but you all know what staffies are like. Great wee nature as usual.

poor wee man dont know how anyone could do that to a pup

Poor little chap. So pleased he is now safe with you.

If this is the problem then surgical treatment seems to be the recommended course of action: http://petplace.netscape.com/article....asp?artID=116

Your story is heart breaking, how can people be so cruel?

Thank goodness he's found a loving family.

poor puppy Im glad he has a nice home now.

Aaww poor puppy. Glad he's got a good home

I hope all goes well for the little chap Tracie. I reckon he has been thrown, or dropped from a height to cause that damage
