Question G. Shepherd Pup - Paw Abnormality

My new G. Shepherd pup of 7 weeks has a leg/paw abnormality. He doesn't have the little side toe on one his front legs, the small toe on that paw doesn't web out like the other paw, and the leg is slightly smaller than the other one. To top it off he has a slight limp. "Will this pass as he ages?"

That sounds like a physical defect that the dog may compensate for as it gets older but it more than likely will not go away.

The dog should live a great life but no, it wont change as he grows. Have your vet take some x-rays to make sure that it wont cause pain as he grows.
