Just went through this but Ali had surgery and a splint for 4 weeks, changed it every week so I bathed her the day before her vet visit in case it got wet. A front leg is not that hard to keep dry, just put a bag around it, tape or rubber band at the top of the leg to hold it in place while she has a quick bath. Bottom half of body goes in the sink, top half stays out. Use a washcloth to do the part that can't get wet. I hope your baby heals quickly. Our worst problem is Ali thinks she is FINE and she isn't supposed to jump. ya'right.

I think I would just use wipes. When Callie had knee surgery she was not in a cast but I tried to just wash her face in the sink and it stressed her out to much and made her wiggle around way to much. I think you risk messing up any good that has been done.

Bella goes for a cast change and X-ray on Tuesday great idea before going for the change she doesn't care about the cast at all like Ali. We are hoping for the best and she doesn't have surgery but I will do what the doc wants me to do. You guys are great. Thanks for all of the ideas
