 Poor Izzy
I am sorry to hear about Izzy's accident and I want to tell you that with two broken bones casting is not going to help. There is nothing for either of the bones to grasp onto and I know for a fact that it requires surgery because the exact same thing happened to us at Christmas time. Willow was dropped by some boys that came to visit us and broke her tibia and fibula. She had to have surgery to have a two inch plate and six screws put in her leg and then 15 weeks later she had to have another surgery to have the plate and screws removed due to loss of bone density. Small dogs do no do well with hardware in their legs. Willow has been crated 100% since Christmas as this was drilled into my head by the orthopedic surgeon who performed her surgeries. She was only allowed to stand up, turn around, and lay back down. She gets a lot of rides in her doggie stroller and a lot of time on my lap, but absolutely no running, jumping, and playing. It has been a very long expensive six months, but I followed the instructions I was given and I am happy to say that Willow is going to have a 100% recovery. I hope you can do this for your Izzy. |
