How long should I leave my puppies back legs taped due to swimmer puppy syndrome? He is 8 weeks old, and I just found out what is wrong with him. He can only walk or run while they are taped. I'm not sure if I should leave the legs with tape on them more than a day or two, or more. Thank you so much.

I have a 3 day old pup. That I named Lucky. I believe he has swimmer pup syndrome. Will this really work on him and when should I start working with him. Since he is only 3 days old. But you can tell he has it. Plz help me. Thank you.

Read a post on Dognblog about this type of issue, Folks are experimenting with bowl shaped beds lined for traction. This appears to help.
