 Broken leg by doggy parlor!
Our baby is a 4 month old boy and a real busy guy!
We took him in to the doggy parlor for a bath and cut today and 2 hours after we dropped him we recieved a call from the parlor telling us there has been an accident! Kerneels fell of the table and broke his back leg! (At least that is their version of what happened)
I rushed him to the vet and after they took xrays we found that his left tibia and fibula was broken. According to the vet he was most probably caught by his leg while falling which snapped his leg right off! You can imagine how mad we were about this!
He just came out of surgery and everything went well. The vet fitted a DCP plate and screws and we are hoping for a complete recovery.
My question is: Is there any advise on how we should handle him during his recovery period? He is used to sleeping in bed with us and is always jumping on the couches and coffee table. He also has an older brother and they can play, run and wrestle like mad! How do we keep him confined for the next 3 weeks as me and my wife both work during the day? We are scared he wont understand why he can't sleep in the bed and why we keep him in a play pen during the day?
I appreciate your comments. |
