It is surprising that she is even testing putting a little weight on her leg. They actually can get around very well on 3 legs.

My Tiki had a slight sprain on one back leg when she was very young, and she hopped around on 3 legs for 2 weeks before putting it down.
She is definitely putting a little weight on her bad leg when she is standing still. I can feel the pressure from the leg when she stands in my lap. She keeps her toe pointed straight, so it's like she's up on tippy toes. I *hope* that's not a problem and she bends her toes normally in time. She managed to use her bad leg to scratch her left ear from around the side of the inflatable E-collar, so she has flexibility in her hip joint.
