I am picking up a little boy I am going to call ACE today from a shelter. He was found as a stray, covered in road tar, fleas ad ticks. I was told he was very sweet and loving. However, he has the strange issues with his back legs.
Anyone ever seen a dog with his back legs fuzed? He has a vet appointment for tomorrow.

I have never heard of that with the legs. Let us know what the vet says.

Oh that sweet little face!!!
I suspect something congenital maybe? Or else he's escaped from a mill...I've heard of cases where the body has fused in strange ways because of being kept cramped in a cage. Poor little guy...but his luck just changed!! 
(If he was up here, I bet Laura might be able to do something with him...chiro!)

Poor little guy has had a very hard life, so far. I wonder how his legs fused? From birth? Hope he learns how to walk properly once the vet separates them. I would think he's gonna need lotsa physical therapy for it. How old is he? I'm amazed that he was able to survive while hopping along like a rabbit.

His sweet little face reminds me so much of Rikka's that I had to go and cry for a little bit. Sending lots of love to this little guy that he gets the help he needs and finds a special forever home.

Yolanda, you are an Angel. I am very sad for all these dogs. People like you are true humanitarians! Bless you!
