Swimmer puppy syndrome with warped outward front limbs and splayed hind limbs was observed in a twenty days old male labrador pup. The condition was successfully managed with the help of cotton padding and creepe bandage. The pet was put on rough non slippery surface and locomotion was encouraged by playing with the pup. The pet was able to ambulate like normal pup by twelfth day of treatment.
