Please help |
I only do minimally invasive TPLO surgery on torn CCLs, so honestly don't know much about the recovery from that surgery.
I would think he should be at the very least, toe touching by now. By limping, do you mean he is using it but not full weight? If so, that very well could be normal from that surgery.
