toeing out

[MMtnmom]

Lucky is about 6 plus years old now, and it appears to me that she's starting to toe out a little in the rear...is this common with ageing...or post TPLO (about three years ago).

i am not sure it is the tplo, others can help you there, i wonder if she needs muscle build up in the rear, sometimes when they reach middle age, if they dont do enough excersise, the muscle deteriorates and can cause their leg to turn out.
she also might be a bit lazy back there?
is she walking the same?
or does she tend to toe out when walking to?

when we're out on walks I don't notice it, but walking around the house I do...You're right, she could be a little lazy in the rear...I know she has always, on occasion, drug her toenails when walking...but she runs, plays and jumps quite well...too well sometimes. She's not getting as much walking these days...too hot for long walks...she and gracie are getting about 1/2 a mile am and pm...except like tonight when we had class, Lucky got shortchanged on the walking.
