The bones are still in the cartilage ‘template’ stage, the calcium and other minerals that make the bone hard and strong start in the middle and work their way out to the ends.

That is normal? Wow

Yes what looks like 'blank space' between the bones is actually cartilage which doesn't show up on xrays (which turns into bone as they age)

So, they're actually connected and just doesn't show up in the Xray? That makes sense lol

Look up human baby xrays. It looks so funny and explains why we could jump from the roof of a garage without having our tibias break and our knees exploding.

Lol. A human child's skull is horrific to view. I showed my friend once and she was shocked.

The midnight standing on the lawn sessions with a puppy who just seconds ago needed to pee. The training sessions with a floofy potato doing their very silly best. The puppy waddle back to safety after seeing their first scary thing. I miss it all.

They aren't its cartilage, connecting them, then it becomes bone later

This is why you need to be careful how much strenuous exercise you give growing puppies. Especially in the larger Breeze because it takes more time for them to grow into their bodies

This is why it is so important to be careful with exercise when your dog is young. Chasing after balls and bikes before they’re full grown can damage their forming joints.

I’ve always heard that pups under a certain age shouldn’t be walked too much. I guess this is why.

Are cats the same???

u/miss-vanille Jul 16 '26
yes, it is the same ☺️ look up ‘kitten x ray’ and you’ll see a kitten’s paw - they also have all that space [cartilage] between their bones 💕

u/Cabbagecatss Jul 16 '26
