My baby got his cast off today, and it is horrible. HE has nasty blisters all over his stick thin leg, and he still isn't attempting to walk on it. He is getting around fine, he just won't put weight on it. Also, from the elbow(not exactly sure what else to call it) down on his leg is just limp. I don't know how else to explain it. But it's horrid. the vet says he may or may not ever bend it properly due to the ligaments that were torn. But, he says he needs the cast off to try & start building muscle in that leg again. I have been tearing up every time he hobbles across the house.

PLease someone, I need some encouragement. Is this normal?
