With an old fracture you really really really need to be strict with the confinement if you want them to heal properly. With this fracture there is usually a bandage on for 4-6 weeks as well, and these need to be changed every 1-2 weeks.
like i said, i work for a veterinary orthopedic surgeon so if you have ANY questions let me know and ill try to help you out. i see broken bones every day. |
Thank you so much. I think what I understood was right rear leg and two bones broken. I'm not that familiar with bones but will find out more on Monday. It may be that he has to stay in foster longer but we won't release him until it's safe. I am noting your info and believe me we will be contacting you ... any info/advice we can get to help this little guy will surely be appreciated! Thank you again!
