called the vet to say it was slipping, and they told me to bring him in
right way today. Since he was scheduled for x-rays tomorrow, they did
them today instead. It was a scary wait in the examining room while
Scout was getting his leg x-rayed. The vet came back and told me that
there had been significant healing since they took the first x-ray, and
he should be able to heal the rest of the way without a splint. No
running, jumping, stairs, or rough dog play yet.
His joints and tendons have not been used in a very long time. He's
limping on it most of the time (we've only been back for an hour), but
when he does put his weight on it, that kink that was there, where the
break was, is gone. Prognosis is after 3 weeks he will be fit as a
fiddle, and he will FINALLY get to play with the other dogs in his
foster home!
I'll attach some before and after photos here. His leg has some ouchies
where the tape was removed, but that will heal up in no time. :)
I had him titered and checked for hw today while we were there.
