She was doing great on her leg walking normal on it for over a week until today. I have been keeping her in her pen pretty much all of the time except for the walks and to go out to go potty so hopefully its just sore because of pt I really don't know when else she could have done anything to it that's why I am being such a worry wort. I will call the Orthopedic surgeons office tomorrow morning is shes still limping. |
It sounds like your doing a great job with her recovery. I misspoke before in saying the fishing wire was for LP surgery, its for ACL surgery. Its most commonly used in small breeds so that is probably what she had done since she had a partial tear, along with fixing the LP.
I used to work for an orthopedic surgeon and did so many LP/ACL discharges that i could probably recite the instructions right now, but I won't. LOL Just by reading what you've been doing I'm pretty sure you got a similar speech to the one my surgeon gives.
i bet she's just sore from the PT. Best thing to do right now is what you're already doing. Keep an eye on her and call the surgeon if it gets worse or doesn't improve by morning. Good luck. hopefully she'll feel better tomorrow.
