| Little one with pin inserted Hi everyone havent been on lately i have a small yorkie named bella..(in avatar =) ) they claimed she weighs 4lbs..?? where i asked?..lol anyhow we had a bad fall..my office chair had 4 yorkies under it and got tangled, toppled over and poor bella got the brunt and i broke her femur ='( she has had her surgery and a pin inserted, scheduled to come out the 31st of august... im so thankful for my vet as well.. she is too stay crated and leash walked..i let her out several times a day on a leash and after potty break she is either carried by me, held by me and leashed right next to me... i thought she looked normal when walking the first few days and today i thought it looked different..looked like it was turned and possibly not putting as much pressure on it...?? so i called the vet who got right on the phone and said can you bend her knee? i said yes i can fold her leg up and down no problem..he said no worries she will walk better when the pin comes out...but it kind of looks funny to me...maybe its her adjusting to it? i have never had a dog with a broken bone of any kind and im nervous to mess with her..lol but she is extremely happy and frisky and wont sit still in the crate at times...gets a little bouncy when its time to come out and go in.. anyone ever had a dog with a pin in her back leg? does it look funny sometimes? no cast just stitches thanks |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Sorry to hear about Bella. My little one Pixie, just had LP surgery 7 weeks ago and they cut the bone and moved it over and put a pin it it. During her whole recovery period there were days when she looked to be walking funny, not putting pressure on it,skipping when she ran or sometimes it just looked like her leg was positioned weird when standing, still does. The surgeon said she was fine at her 6 week check up. It was about 2-3 weeks into her recovery that she started to walk almost normal so hopefully your Bella will be fine after her recovery period is done. I also found it impossible after the first few days to keep her completely calm. She would get excited when I left or came home and jump on her back legs in the crate. I just did the best I could to keep her quiet and still as much as I could.
