Caring for a Splint So we are on day 2 with seeker in his splint. its tape around it, like on top of the splint. he is running around already! i try to limit this though but, he is a puppy, its what he wants to do. so the vet said i go back in 2 weeks to get it rerapped but said it MUST stay try and clean. so i covered it with a sock....is this good enough? what did you do to care for your splint? was it just a tape covered splint? how long did your pup need it? can i see your littles injury? thanks |
We had a poodle who broke her leg a few days after we got her... she had a little cast/splint on... we covered it with a plastic bag when we went outside so it didnt get wet. We let her basically do anything she wanted, she was a puppy and wanted to play... it was funny because she learned to run so good that after it was off she would still run with her leg back sometimes. :p Here she is playing with it on: http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...Lover/toys.jpg Trying to get her big sissy down from the couch (you can see a little bit of the cast): http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...over/iwant.jpg |
I sympathize with you. I got Moses on Friday night and he broke his leg Sunday morning. He was in a "cast" for 2 months. Doc recommended getting the Glad wrap that is self sticky and wrapping that around the cast when he went outside. I also wrapped it real well when I had to bathe him (after a month, he HAD to have a bath). Hopefully your little guy just has a mild break and you won't have to keep in a cast as long as poor Mosey had to be. But he did like you said, he would run like crazy, sometimes holding up his leg and sometimes using it. |
