Cast came off Monday after 16 days. Looks okay. She has used it a few times, definitely reacts to pain when she has. Vet said there’s gonna be some scar tissue build up between the ligament and the muscle and skin, and breaking that scar tissue loose is probably going to take a while and be a little painful. Keeping her on a 1/2 cc of dex a day to keep swelling down and still have her penned up in a crate in my office at the ranch.
Talking currently about starting to swim her some in another few weeks to help with rehab once she starts using it to walk travel some. Low impact resistance training. My vet has never done this ligament repair like this and doesn’t know any other vets that’s have done it. So we’re really interested to see how it all plays out. Brainstorming on what we can do to help this along.
