Here I go again - can't seem to stop myself today - but I think this is absolute rubbish! What about the bitches, some of them very small, who have had litters of 8,9,10 and even 11.By golly, both their horns must have been packed like salami - not much chance of "in utero muscle flexing" there! . First we hear its because the litters are small and the pups get too much to eat and no exercise, now we hear that its because they were crowded in the horn....... For most skeletal malformations or abnormalities, inability to absorb calcium would seem to be a likely logical deduction.....Leanne????
