Recovery can take up to 2 weeks depending on how Callie tolerates pain. They will usually not want to walk on their paws for a couple days, it will be very painful. Since she is older and getting it done consider she will need a longer recovery time. Usually older dogs that have it done are walking on it by a week. |
I'm hopping the vet has something up her sleeve but just trying to prepare for the worst. I am pretty sure hers is attached with a joint the way it feels. I have heard it is an amputation and I think that's why thinking about it makes me a little sick to my stomach and sad that she might have to go through that. Just wish I could take it for her the pain and everything.
