How many kids have you had born, and how many moms? If this is the only kid that is doing this out of a nice size group than I would just blame it on the position in the uterus and simply vet wrap his legs straight for a few weeks. But if he is the only one, than I would wrap his feet and look into the nutrition of the dam. Do you live in a selenium defficient area, is your minerals including copper sufficient? Start with giving him Vitamin E 300 IU capsules for people, just snip the end and squish in his mouth daily, during that time research your feed, making sure your protein is coming from only plant sources. Perhaps getting back to use on your minerals and feeding program. Vicki
