It took a LONG time to completely heal; just b/c she doesn't limp doesn't mean she is better. You have to be very careful when you "think" she is better. She may re-injure it if she plays too rough. No jumping, or crazy playing; if she hasn't limped at all in a month, then you are probably safe.
Good luck! |
Great advice Nishasmom! Mental stimulation and really wear a dog out, try getting one of those cubes that has holes in it so you can stuff treats or kibble in it. Takes a while to get it all out! You can freeze a kong that has peanut butter in it as well, we do that all the time to keep Hudson busy...
