Chivas,
Does it put any pressure on the limb? (We can't have that.......it hurts bad enough as it is) I want to help her to walk without using her leg..........she's a smart girl, but she never tends to an injury correctly. It's like she forgets all about it when she's got something else on her mind.
Like just now, she jumped up & ran (Hobbled......) to the back door to see the squirrels. She then suggested that I let her out, but of course I did NOT. So I just sat there on the floor with her & watched the little buggers run around my yard, talking to her about them the whole time. (She likes that!)
Anyway, if you know of anything that could assist with walking WITHOUT putting any pressure on the leg, please let me know.
Thanks!
MK
