Bowing of the legs?

[thejoie]

I'm currently fostering a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix.. I've noticed that his two front paws almost like "pop forward". He seems to have a little bit of bowing in his legs. Like a little cowboy.. He doesn't seems to be in any pain..and gets along just fine.
The vet just saw him a few days ago before he came home with me but there were no notes about it.
I don't know if that's something that's normal for the breed or what.
I'm just worried about the poor little guy.

I'm not sure what you mean by popping forward, so pics might help. If it's something that's always been there, then it's likely just that he was born that way. Some dogs do have a bow-legged appearance, and some dogs shouldn't, but because of poor breeding practices come out with them anyways. If he's not in pain and the vet doesn't think anything's wrong, I'm sure it's fine, but if you're truly concerned about it I would ask your vet specifically about that issue.

Frenchies pretty typically do that.

do you know anything about his past? it could be that he was kept in a small crate as he grew up. that could cause difformities in the paws and/or legs. but boston terriers sometimes have the cowboy look when poor breeding is brought upon them. but french bulldogs do have bowed legs so there is probably nothing to worry about unless they start to bow more
