Yep, it was broken -- in 2 places. Fortunately the one on the femur was hairline and the other wasn't all the way across on the tibia. Duke is now limping around on a "quick" splint. Prognosis is for recovery in 3-4 weeks. Meanwhile, semi-confinement to reduce opportunities for stressing the breaks before they heal.
Judging from the bill I'm happy it didn't require surgery!!!
That's good news.
ReplyDeleteI just had hip surgery for an aging watch dog. I work several new jobs - one for gas, one for veterniary bills. I bet you feel like a scamp and will make it up to this dog big time- I wish I could understand how these things happen as they do.One night 16 years ago, after a lot of stress in my life day after day, I woke up real fast and startled my dog who had a heart attack and died right on the spot
