I haven't been around for a while... Just got married 2 weeks ago
Sandy was at our wedding. We brought him to the vet again for another follow-up before that and were told he's doing very well. The vet wants him to keep the cast on for another 3 weeks. Now he's trying to walk on 4 legs again (sometimes). We're taking him for another checkup next week.
He got a lot of attention from our guests and the guests who stayed in the same hotel where we had our reception. Here he is at the wedding, taken by a friend

One thing I want to caution you about is letting him sleep in your bed while this other leg is healing. If he jumps off of your bed, he is at risk of re-injuring the leg or breaking another leg! This happened to another YTer some time back....her pup broke the other front limb. When they have a broken leg already, they don't have that limb to brace them so they are jumping in an odd fashion. Please, please be very careful in letting him on your bed or other places where he could jump. I know it is difficult not to hold them and love on them when they are sick and/or injured; but we need to think about accidents! |
Thank you, ladyjane. We're very careful with Sandy.
