I have not heard the air mattress thing i will def. have to try that.

He has visibal muscle atophy. the ex rays showed that it has not healed into the place and is too high up..something like that and the femur needs to be strected down.. he does not seem to be in pain.. he is happy .. but loosing all his muscle could be very bad for the future health....

have you ever heard of putting a cast on his leg to force him to use it...our vet want us to try thearpy for 3 months and then think about casting him...let me know thanks so much for your help
No, I have not had experience with that...I have never seen one that did not work.
Is this a vet at A&M?
