A couple weeks after that she would use the leg occasionally when walking, with no limp, but then start carrying it again. After about 3 months she was using the leg all the time in the house but always carried it when we went outside. I think it was the uneven ground. By the 4th month she was using the leg most of the time. It's been 6 months since the surgery and Piper is 100%. We take daily long walks and it doesn't bother her leg at all. Give it time and Zacchie will be running circles around you again.
Thank you for giving me some kind of timeline. My husband keeps asking me, "how long before he can walk normally?"
Zacchie is very much a Daddy's boy, and Hubby hates to see him hurting.
