After much deliberation with her surgeon we
decided to try her with the splint off.
What hastened this decision is that she also
developed a problem with the discs in her
back! UGH! Frustrating! So now she is
painful and weak on her front end and
painful on her back end. This is a bad
combination for such a nice dog. Since she
needed her front leg to support her weight
and heal her back we decided to risk further
injury to her front leg to protect her
back. Fortunately the risk paid off.
After just 2 days with her splint off she
was walking around on her front leg like
nothing was ever wrong. With rest and
steroids she is now back “working” at Gentle
Vet Animal Hospital three days a week. At
the end of the month we’ll try to wean her
off her steroids, and just deal with her
normal arthritis issues. Thanks again for
following Mousse’s case. We’ll have a new
case for you next month! |
