The best part of this is the fact that you can see her biting it so she just looks like she's  ing really hard.

Swimmers syndrome, also known as swimming-puppy syndrome, flat-puppy syndrome, swimmer puppy syndrome, flat-pup syndrome, twisted legs, or turtle pup, is an uncommon developmental deformity of newborn dogs and cats whereby the limbs, primarily the hind limbs, are splayed laterally resulting in an inability to stand or walk. Forward movement with this affliction is only accomplished by lateral pedaling motions (1–6). Swimmers syndrome has generally been considered to be untreatable; therefore, animals that present with symptoms of the syndrome have tended to be euthanized. ...Yeah  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3743573/

Couldn't they just be being puppies trying to walk on a slippery surface that some adult dogs even struggle to walk on?

Forward movement with this affliction is only accomplished by lateral pedaling motions (1–6). Swimmers syndrome has generally been considered to be untreatable; therefore, animals that present with symptoms of the syndrome have tended to be euthanized. Hey now, at least include the next couple sentences: "However, there have been several notable cases in which clinicians successfully treated animals — (1 kitten and 3 puppies) suffering from the syndrome with a combination of intensive physiotherapy, bandaging, external splinting, and hospitalization (2,4). In the present case, this miniature puppy with swimmers syndrome demonstrates that owners can provide satisfactory home-care and physiotherapy. Also, this case has been followed for over 10 y, and the dog is still alive, thus providng information about the prognosis. This study presents the case of a dog that was born with swimmers syndrome; the original veterinarian had advised euthanization, but the owner chose to donate the dog to a teaching hospital. One of the authors adopted the dog and has been caring for it for the past 10 y. As a result of the home-care treatment, the dog recovered from the syndrome and continues to live a healthy life."

Yeah I wouldn't panic or anything, all puppies, prior to a certain age, get around for a while by pulling themselves around on their front feet and kick with their back feet. It looks weird mostly because they're on a tile floor, I think. Also the more stumpy/stocky the breed of dogs, the longer it takes the puppies to get their hind legs under them. Our last litter of Mini Aussie puppies didn't get their back legs under them until about four weeks I think, I don't remember exactly when it happened.

Since it's the whole litter, I'm pretty sure it's because of the slick floor. My cats all learned how to drift when playing because we had wood and tile in our homes back when I fostered/ adopted them. I should have gotten videos of the foster kittens learning how to use the drift to their advantage. This is what I mean by kitty cat drift. https://youtu.be/OSd3T5ZuKwY https://youtu.be/NRFL6HecJBU Bored has a new favorite as of 20:21 on Sep 13, 2018 |

darthbob88 posted:From what I'm reading, it's mostly "excitement and joy". So yeah, friendly gesture, they're happy to see you. Not just ducks - my parrot wags her tail when she's happy about something; like, she always does it when she sees someone playing with or cuddling the dog .
