My Max (RIP) broke one front leg on 12/28 and the other on 12/30. The vet I went to casted him for 4 weeks then because he got gangarine splinted him until the end of March at which time neither of his legs had healed and she recommended putting him down. I then brought him to an orthopedic vet who said that he wished I had brought Max to him right away because Max's legs were so slender that the only way to get his legs to heal would be to put pins and plates in. Max had his surgery on June 1 and would have been walking around by mid July. I wish that I had gone to see the surgeon, but my vet was confident that she would be able to heal my Max. |
