What time period are you referring to as initial recovery? Maybe I should call to make sure. |
I am not sure really....I know that he did not recommend therapy for Ozzy at least until he saw him for the suture removal. At the time I went for that, Ozzy was walking and he did not suggest therapy. Only slow walking on a leash. Slow walking makes them use their legs...if they walk quickly, they tend to lift the leg. I am dealing with one right now who had her knee reconstructed....she is on slow leash walking and doing well.
I had a cat done once ... she had a dislocated hip and they did FHO and she was totally on rest for the first two weeks.
