HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am not concerned about the white or pale skin color of his scrotum. I think that is a variation of normal. As for the bowing of his front legs, that is likely an angular limb deformity but to tell I would need to see him walk. It is usually from premature closure of one of the growth plates in the leg. If he walks normal it could be a variation of normal. If he isn't limping and can run well I wouldn't worry too much about the legs. Have a good day!
