Hello so max is 2.5 lbs and only 5 months last week fell down the steps. He knows how to go up steps but not down and last week when he tried and failed he broke his left back leg. I took him to the vet and the hospital and he got surgery two days later. He got two pins in his little leg and his staples. The doctor said to let him walk and be normal just no jumping and NO STEPS because he needed to learn to put weight on his bad leg . However its now been a week and max Wont put any weight on it I'm worried that he might never walk like normal again. Any advice? Or thoughts on what I can or should do to help him ?
