what did your vet say about it when you took her for her injections when you first got her?

Vet have never said any thing. Sapphire has been to see a vet recently about bits on her leg. They checked her all over. She going for her 7month check with the nurse next week.

Mine's got it too. Looked quite gruesome sometimes when he was eating but it's got less noticeable as he's got older. Vet didn't seem concerned about it either

Nala has this. We asked the vet on her very first visit and they said it's not an issue. She's always been quite small for her age but it has become less noticeable since she's put ok some weight.

vet said there floating ribs and as she gets bigger the muscle will keep the in place. but if there still sticking out at 18 months then they will have to x ray her.

Bane had this too Smile He was a skinny pup and it was so much more noticeable when he ate, but it has almost disappeared now. We asked on one of his check ups and the vet said it was most likely floating ribs and nothing to worry about!
