Her little leg looks so bad and her little paw pads are so sore she can't even touch the floor. The only grace is knowing that is actually working in her favor. I know in a few days we will all get adusted to the meds and all the tlc we will give to her. If anyone has any suggestons on things I can do for her I would be so grateful to hear personal experiences. I just tried to get ice on her leg and oh my she just looks so fragile and I don't want to hurt her. Now we will just count down until June.

My thoughts and prayers goes to both of you!!!
This is exacly what Eulalia got true a couple of weeks ago. The vet. graft some bone into the fracture! Eulalias leg is all shaved and look so tiny and thin, she has also lost all the muscles but those can get back later, if the leg will healed.

Eulalia has a 1/2 cast around the leg. Hard to explain sorry...but it covers one side of the leg. I take it off every second day to very, very gently massage her leg and to check that the leg looks fine (=no infection)
After the massage I put back the plate of cast and the red wetflex. To make sure it is hold at the place I have made a kind of bandage of a doll pantyhose.
Was thinking about making a cover for the leg and cast with a baby sock as well. If you wish I can take photos of the cast and bandage to show you what I am trying to explain here.

We have another appointment at the vet Monday morning, so I will let you know what he says. The stiches will also be removed that morning.

Thinking of you and little Mimi!!!
