Carpal subluxation?

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help, on another forum a couple of people mentioned that it looks like my pup suffers with carpal subluxation. After googling I am pretty certain he hasn't, I think he just has large paws. I am taking a trip to the vets next Monday so will mention to them anyway but in the meantime I would be interested to see if anyone thinks the same? Thanks

Below is a still shot (that is quite blurry, sorry) and a video also.

Never heard of it before but just did a quick google and well maybe, I didn't notice it until I was looking for it but he does seem to have the look of it, I would certainly ask a vet to have a look to be sure, he is a very handsome boy

Hi, I am no vet but looking at the photos and video it does look as though your gorgeous pup has carpal subluxation syndrome. In the photo you can see the classic splayed toes and collapsed ankle joints (pasterns).

Your vet will be able to advise you and a lot can be done so don't panic!! I googled it and apparently a lot of puppies will grow out of it. Hopefully your vet will be able to reassure you.

Keep us informed and good luck for next Monday.
