Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I can’t actually answer this question without a physical exam to feel the legs at the same time. But yes, in the picture they look basically symmetrical. If you have concerns about it, take him in to the vet for a physical exam to be sure.
