Swollen Knee?

[runnin akita]

So I bought a pup about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have noticed that has a enlarged socket bone on its back leg. It dosent seem to bother him walking or running, but from time to time when he goes to scratch his ear I notice he cant quite reach it. Has anyone ever delt with this? Will it affect his hunting? I did order some Joint Resolition, witch is supose to help with healing, but if anyone has any idieas I would love to hear them.

does he carry the leg or does he walk on it?

Did he have this condition when you bought him?

He walks on it just fine. Thats why I didnt notice it when I bought him. It dosent even seem to bother him at all but I havent seen him really run though. He ruff houses around with the other dogs and goes up and down the stairs fine.

So I went out fishin today and ran the dogs there and back. I noticed that at a trot he runs a bit sideways with the bad knee in the back. when he sprints he staightens out and looks fine.???? Any thoughts?

Post a pic of the bump.

I've seen some dogs run sideways with there backend usually a bigger sized dog. Not sure if that helps any.

Well its been a while since I have been on here. As he has gotten bigger the problem has seemed to resolved its self. Thank you all for your input.
