So you've had pups that had Perthes? Hannah's incision is small..thank God! It looks really good considering! I can tell that her leg is getting stronger and hope it's just a matter of time before she starts putting weight on it. Part of it is me. It grosses me out to extend it so soon after her surgery. I'm scared I will hurt her. I'm really hoping she does it on her own soon. She is starting to stretch it out a little more when I rub her belly.
