If it is congenital, there may be no cure or Kuky may require multiple surgeries. A nutritional deficiency may be corrected, but it is possible he will also be bow legged. You would need to have him physically examined by your veterinarian or a veterinary orthopedic specialist to make the determination.

Bowed legs are generally caused by poor nutrition or abnormalities of the growth plates. Ricketts can cause bowed limbs which is a deficency of Vitamin D. Avoid worsening of this by feeding a well balanced dog food. Otherwise, non-nutritional causes and later stage nutrition causes require surgical intervention. https://www.northwestreferrals.co.uk/2019/05/02/angular-limb-deformities/
