Bow legged, will it ever hurt as he ages?
Hi, my dog is an adopted 6 year old Maltese. He was extremely overweight (I'm talking 15lbs to a normal 6-9lbs) and his previous owner held him a lot leading him to become bow legged. I am wondering if this will ever hurt him as he ages or anything I should be concerned with.

Thanks in advance!

Of coarse a vet check is always necessary but to me it just looks like he as a wide front...
His legs don't appear to be actually bowed so it's more the depth of his chest... no problem, just an aesthetic fault in show terms.

He is definitely a heart breaker... so cute!
