It really depends on the break. Do not let him run around at ALL. Jess broke both her radius and ulna and they cast her. It was totally useless and almost ended up costing her her leg. I ended up paying for bone grafts and surgery to the tune of 3500.00. The bone starts to calcify the longer you wait the more costly it is. Do you have a pic of the xray? Some, though very few can recover with a cast but again, depends on the break. Do not, though let the dog run around at all.....I kept Jess in a cage for 6 weeks after surgery and because of that both her radius and ulna healed. She did not walk at all. |
