Piper took a couple weeks before she started to use her leg. When she first came home she was carrying the leg. By the next week I noticed that she was setting her foot down when she was standing. After a few more days she was putting weight on the leg when she was standing. Then we went through a short amount of time where she would use the leg (no limp) during the day but by the end of the day she was back to carrying the leg. By the second month she was walking fine in the house but would carry the leg when she was outside. It was winter during that time so I don't know if she did that because the ground was frozen, uneven and snowy and wasn't a nice flat surface. By the 3rd month she was back 100%.
