i was wondering if my cham has mbd bec his legs appear to be bowed but idk what that really looks like. so can someone show me pics of bowed legs so i can better understand. also what are some other symptoms. i was wondering if his legs were bowed or if that is the way he is standing. plzz post pics.
 
brad im not sure how, but ive determined that he has no mbd, bec he walks normal, and the position he was in made him look like bowed legs. when i can figure out how to post pics i will. i have lots of em, idk how to. any help appreciated. also i notice my cham is kind of jerky when walking occasionally. does that mean anything. i dont think he has mbd bec i took him out yesterday and he had the hardest grip of anything that size. so idk
 
Create an account with www.Photobucket.com, it is free. You can upload your pics to that site, and they provide codes for posting those pics, directly under the image. I upload to photobucket...then Copy and paste the code wherever I want to post the pic... It is incredibly handy. I believe you can upload video as well. Hope that helps...

im gonna give him some more calcium and see how it goes this week. nex week if this worsens i will take him to a vet...
also what if one leg is bowed out some of the time and the same with the other back leg. and its not too noticeable, but its there...in my eyes.
