In the fore limb is seen the "pigeon-toed" position, where the limbs are straight to the fetlocks, but the pasterns and feet turn in (Fig. 51). When the toes point obliquely outward there is formed that awkward defective conformation termed "splay-foot" (Fig. 52). Viewing the fore limbs in profile, we may find that the legs from the knees downward are placed too far under the body, and the knees are bent backw

Viewing the fore limbs in profile, we may find that the legs from the knees downward are placed too far under the body, and the knees are bent backward; this is termed "calf-knee" (Fig. 53). Backward deviation, where only the cannon bone is affected.
