[RC] Foal, contracted knees - L gin

Get a Vet out asap.
My arab/append . Qh Scout was large too, Had to help mom get him out. My vet didn't say much either except to watch him -- duh, I didn't know enough to know. His legs torque in to the knee and then they turn outlbelow. From the side he is straight, but fromt he front he toes out. He paddles a bit --but his dam did too.
I found out later , some foals can be put in splints for some of it --but only the first month.....I believe. He did straighten up some , but not enough.
You may or may not be able to change it--but if you wait , you most likely won't be able too. FWIW
