Broken back, thoughts on dealing with broken bones
Happy was to the vet last evening. Vet took his splint off and let him walk around to see how´d e´d do. He walked about 6 inches and laid down! She took more xrays and doesn´t see any significant healing. She said it will take at least 8 weeks but probably 12 to completely heal. He´s not wearing the splint anymore. It didn´t rub any sore spots but it rubbed hair from his front and hind legs where the straps went. He´s not to have floor time yet and still to be on towels. We´re to go back in two weeks for more xrays. Just thought I´d share an update. He is off the Critical care though. He weighed in at 3.3lbs. He could actually stand to lose some weight, he was too fat around the middle. Vet said it would be less stress on his back too.
