There is no way that injury would heal without a splint of some sort as everytime the poor dog moves it would disturb the injury. The vet who has treated the dog upto now should be ashamed of himself, i would tell him so too. He's had your money he should have treated the dog correctly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jf1970 328 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 the splint is ok mate, but it should really be down by the paw, just incase the dog does put pressure on it either intentionaly or unintentionely and as mally has pointed out, it should be made from stiffer material like plastic or wood, but other than that you have done a good job and should be pleased with yourself, the main thing is to restrict the dogs movement, atb. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
