Pogo isn't using his leg
« on: September 17, 2010, 07:31:19 PM »
I'm worried about pogo. The vet said his leg healed and that he couldn't jump yet bc his leg was weak. I just let him out and i knowiced when he was hopping around that he wasn't using his leg at all. is that normal? He was hopping like it was still wrapped up.

Only time will tell, though there could be some nerve damage. I would say it's still soar, he'll heal at his own pace. ::nod::

Thanks Debbie. I tried to call the vet on friday night bc he said if i had any questions to call and he never got back to me. I hope he ends up using it.

I called the vet and they said its normal. He won't use it for another week bc his leg is still stiff from being wrapped up.

He's back to normal, using it good and everything! I found these cool playpens online that are all inclosed. I know my guys would chew it up, but i'm thinkinking if i lined it with flease first it would be fine. It looks big enough that i could lay in it with them.
