If he is not showing issues with walking on that leg, I would insist on a second opinion for sure. This just does not sound right to me....there is a first time for everything and I suppose it is possible, but I would make absolutely certain!!
If you want to do this on your own without talking to your vet about your choice of surgeon, you can find one at: American College of Veterinary Surgeons You will probably need a referral...just giving this to you so you can search.
Good luck! | I'm glad you posted I was a little worried the systems could be something else like anxiety.
