My puppy's front legs are bending outwards. Is it a growth issue?

Question

*My Puppy's front legs started to shake initially been a week and from last 2 days they started to bend outwards. *It is getting more bent everyday. Although he isn't weeping for it, or atleast I couldn't understand till now if he is experiencing pain. "Please let me know in details about this and how bad is it and how it could be made alright again" ? P.S. We live in a remote area and have only one Vet here, and the Vet visits haven't helped. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 6 days old

This sounds like a growth deformity, xrays would help to define exactly what is going on. Mineral, especially calcium and phosphorus imbalances can have a major influence at this age - converting his diet completely to a large breed puppy food may help to encourage optimal bone formation
