The one he broke back in March healed perfectly, and the one he broke in Sept is now out of the splint, and healing great. No limping, no pain. I guess the bone your dog broke is thicker, but still surprised no splint or cast. As far as the turning, I have no ida, but wish you guys the best. |
Your poor baby, 2 breaks! Yeah I'm surprised but 2 different vets said that they wouldn't splint or cast this break either since in the upper arm. The vet recommended a pin inserted in the bone and wire wrapped around it versus the plate for her, however, I could be over reacting but I might have him relook just to be sure nothing else happened. She's been very good at laying around, but when my other baby starts barking, she wants to jump up, so afraid going to reinjure.
