That looks terribley uncomfortable... How can he even walk in that?? It seems way too long... Hope that doesn't cause issues if he has to compensate differently... It seems he would have to bear weight on that bc it's longer than his other legs, which seems odd to me since he shouldn't be using that leg at all. When my boys leg was splinted the cast was the same length as the leg and he got the hang of keeping it up and hopping on his other 3. One time at our weekly cast change he was given back to me and I made them redo it bc it was too long and also not tight enough... I could tell it was going to allow some movement which is the complete opposite of what the cast is supposed to be for! I was a little upset about it bc he had to be lightly sedated and dropped off for the morning and then they ended up having to redo it and not needing the gas sedation. They seemed a little annoyed but the fact of the matter is that the vet tech that did it that day did an awful job and I couldn't afford to risk the healing process bc of a loose cast! If the leg is able to move under a bad casting job then it won't allow the bones to heal. |
