My boy broke his leg last February and he had surgery and it healed very well. He had to have pins put in and after 4 months of strict watching we were thrilled that he was healing and able to use his leg again. So now a little over a year since the break and he is not using his leg. Just hopping around with it up but not in pain at all and still eating and acting fine. I have to call the vet ASAP tomorrow and I'm sure I will have to go in for an X-ray. The orthopedic surgeon is only in the office once a week so I'm sure I will have to wait for him to have a look at the xray before we know what's going on. I'm sure it's not broken again bc I know he would be in pain. I was wondering if anyone that has had a previous break has experienced something similar? And what the outcome was. I'm so worried.
