The plate she has is permanant unless she ever developed in infection. Its pretty bulletproof. If this would dislodge her plate then she would never have a normal life. I was more worried that she impeded her healing. She is at the 4 week mark so many would be off restriction by now. If she was a big dog and I lived in a place with stairs she would be climbing them many times a day to relieve herself. She is on longer restiction because vet number one screwed up and so she needing grafting.
Trust me when I tell you this dog has had less movement than 90% of dogs on restricition. She has walked maybe 10 steps a day. I have basically given up everything to make sure she heals. I have been trapped in my house for 9 weeks now. I have elementary aged kids as well. My vet last week was amazed at how good she looked. I am doing all I can. I have been tieing the crate. she bit through it. I didnt want to use wire because I was afraid she would ingest it if she tried to chew it off. I figured something else out.
Trust me im not being cavilier about this. My first vet wanted to amputate. I refused so 4,000.00 later I have no interest in this not working. Im doing the best I can. |
