Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Zeus. Poor boy. It appears he has a valgus deformity, which is where the foot twists out to the side laterally. This usually happens secondary to uneven growth of the radius and ulna. Surgery is the treatment for this. You will need to have him seen by a vet for this and to discuss surgery. Best of luck.
