I have lab puppy of 8 months age, recently I have observed leg bending issue in front legs, consulted with local vet, he said my dog is suffering from arthritis, he had given orthoron and bonetab, I followed it for month but front leg paws still looks bend, now vet has suggested to give glucosamine msm, I am feeding it to dog since 15 days, the dog is highly active but his front legs looks turned outside, just wanted to know within how much duration the feet get corrected? I am walking the dog 1 km morning and 1 km evening. Looking for your suggestions.

First thing with my limited experience would suggest to stop the walking with the limb for such long in specific condition unless your vet suggested the same for any medical ailments. You may would like to administer a higher level vitamin d3 injection with supportive binding minerals/elements to avoid further degradation and help to recover accordingly with currently prescribed or a considerably better joint support formula. Additionally if the pet having dogfood, you may change/transition the diet to a good joint support diet such as vetlife joint etc. But not limited to the specific brand.
