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.
