ours broke her front leg 5 weeks ago they plated and screwed it(internal) she was on lead for a piss etc and no jumping about for the first 4 weeks.now she is on lead and can walk up to 30 mins twice a day.vet said if all ok with next xray (4 weeks time) she can run off lead week after.
cost so far £2500(insured thank god)she has lost weight even after eating more and sleeping for 4 weeks.have been told by most that you wont tell after a year that she done it.
its hassle but just a question of time and rest and will be fine.
