A veterinarian who breeds and shows Bulldogs advises breeders to wait and see whether the affected puppy's ligaments and tendons tighten and turn the feet around to the correct position. Thus far, no reports have suggested that this condition will not correct itself on its own.
The factors that may cause this condition, clinical, environmental or otherwise, remain somewhat of a mystery. Whatever the cause, this temporary, alarming condition is more widespread in Bulldog litters than formerly realised, but euthanasia is apparently not indicated. It would appear that the odds are overwhelmingly in favour of saving these pups.
