Stitche's out wound healed, leg looks like chicken drumstick there is some scabs and one or two vulnerable areas but over all we are all pleased and he was able to put a littlw weight on it, next bandage change next week, will post some photo's . Vet also cut some off end of splints so that his toes touch the floor to give grip xx and put on extra padding but was impressed with the sponge padding and bootie!!. Smartie now flat out after ordeal x :wub:

 

[shane]

My other half put his bootie on this am and made him yelp, hope 2 goodness he hasn't caused any damage, come home now seems ok reluctant to put any weight on it but then hasn't been anyway, worrying all the same :unsure:

 

[jinnyfizz]

Oh dear, that's a worry

I do hope that nothing has happened and Smartie will continue to improve :luck: x

Hope he's ok and no damage done. Bless him, he's still looking at his leg as if it doesn't belong to him

Quick catch up at an unGodly hour!

Glad to hear that Smartie is bandage-free now - hope all goes according to plan for him :luck: :thumbsup: xx

:thumbsup: Must have missed this yesterday, hope Smartie knows he's meant to be calm for 3 weeks :blink: Must be a bit of a relief to him to be rid of the bandage though :luck:

 

[shane]

He still not sure what to do and feeling sorry for himself but does look very sore, but still eating drinking and tail wagging!!! :wub:

 

[jinnyfizz]

Oh that must have been agony for the poor lad

Thank goodness it's on the mend now, bless him :wub: x

 

[Lal]

OUCH!! That looks sore Poor little Smartie, hopefully now the bandages/splint are off there won't be the problem of pressure and friction from them and he will mend. Muscle wastage will hopefully correct itself, I know I was in plaster for 13 weeks after a bad fracture and my arm looked like something off an anorexia photo but I have 'bingo wings' I could die about now
