Can you try to get a picture from the front of the legs in a normal position while standing while you hold it? Sometimes if it is not a slipped tendon, it could be a leg bone deformity in one or both legs called varus or valgus deformity. Many of these leg problems are not fixable, especially when they are a few weeks old. I would feed her 1/2 of a vitamin B complex tablet daily cushed in food or put in a small amount of water. Here is some info on slipped tendons:
