Wow, they look severe from one of the pictures. Have you had his legs x-rayed to see how bad it is?

Our Hank has bowed legs too, that's why I noticed it in Andy's picture. Hank has severe patellar luxation in his back legs (grade 4) and moderate in his front legs. Vets tell us he will need surgery on all 4 legs to keep walking after ~8yrs old. At this time we just limit his jumping and feed him high quality food to keep his weight low and inflammation down.

How old is Andy?
