 leg
Most all breaks heal if given enough time..and the broken leg will actually become stronger then the other legs, due to calcium building around the break according to my old vet..
It took my Clemmie's leg 5 months to heal...she went in weekly for a recheck..monthly xray. She DID have surgery at the beginning..one vet wanted to amputate at 6 weeks because of little healing...but my 75 yr old vet said to be patient..Clemmie never cared about the cast and now walks on a perfectly sound leg...
I would have the surgery if it is not showing vast improvement in another 2 weeks..then be patient, as long as there is no infection. |
