I recently rescued a 3 month old purebred Akita pup. We are having so much fun with her. I have noticed lately that her joints above her paws on both of her front legs seem enlarged in proportion to the rest of her. I rescued my last Akita at 9 months, so I didn't go through this puppy stage with her. I am curious if this is normal, and part of the growing process, or something I should be concerned with. At my last vet visit - he wasn't concerned b/c there wasn't any tenderness and both legs look the same - but also acknowledged that he hadn't seen it before. Any thoughts?
