Well it doesnt seem to be so much in his elbow shoulder his paw looks swollen...he runs and jumps with it seems no problem which my fiance and I try to limit as much as possible when he eats or stands still he will place light pressure but when he walks thats when it is noticeable...we have another berner pup which is another reason to limit movement..maybe he bumped it while playing but we will see..and more suggestions or remedies would be greatly appreciated...also how long did u wait before some of you took ure berner to be checked out? Also he is projected to be a very large stud berner and at the moment his hind legs are longer than front so we also worried abqout the pressure factor
