I do hope the cast works for you. Dixie broke her leg, 2 bones in the front leg, and was in a cast for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks there was no sign of healing. I spoke with 4 vets (other than the one who kept casting her) and they all said casting it would not work. We took her to an orthopedic surgeon on Monday and they put a "T" plate in just above her ankle. The length of time we waited for the surgery caused it to be more difficult and will lengthen the time it will take for full recovery. We wasted several hundred dolllars during those first four weeks also with her xrays and casting along with meds. I do hope it works for you. We had hoped for a positive outcome also but are now regretting our wait. She is confined to her kennel except for going potty or if we're holding her. It's really hard, she whines all the time. It does cost a lot but really was our only choice. Good luck and keep us posted! |
