He did not have a cast on his after surgery, it was wrapped with gauze and tape so we had to make sure No running, jumping, climbing, etc etc.
The broken leg ordeal was 1 1/2 years ago. The encouraging news for you is that today he is the most active and energetic among our 4 Yorkie furr babies. A complete recovery was realized.... it just took lots of time and $$$ money......
Best of luck to you and Lollipop |
I agree aside from my fears when Buster went in for his LP surgery the post operation care was the hardest. Buster was ready to go just a day after surgery and I had to be really careful about keeping him in a small pen where he could not run or jump for the full recovery time. They can so easily undo the surgical repairs that keeping them quiet is the most important task. Best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery for Lollipop.
