Meet this brave 1-year-old Dachshund who faced a big challenge—a congenital birth defect in his right rear leg. 🐾
Pes Varus (“Bow-Leggedness”) is a hereditary condition common in Dachshunds, where the inside of the lower tibia stops growing too soon. This causes the leg to twist inward, creating an “O-shaped” bow-leg and making it hard for pups to walk and play comfortably.
Thanks to 🩺 Dr. Gallagher 🩺and our expert surgical team, a corrective tibial osteotomy was performed to straighten and realign his leg. Now, this little doxie is on the road to a happier, more active life! We’re proud to help pets live their best lives—one step at a time.
