club foot question

Could it be that this pup was born with his leg twisted en-utero
If he was born with a backward twisted leg (or legs)in the rear, they will turn back around to the right position as the pup matures, aided by some good exercises...no surgery needed, and certainly pups born like this should NOT be put down (as too many have been in years previous when little was known about this). Just continue to help this youngster by pushing gently into correct position and basically letting him do leg 'pushups' against your hand for few minutes several times a day.

Sounds to me like...
he's down on his pasturns. I think I read somewhere that Ester C really helps get them up.
