Swollen Knee?

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.

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.

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.
