healing time for bone fracture
I suspect my shepherd might have either a hair line fracture of one of
the bones in her foot or possibly a soft tissue injury. (I think she might have caught her toe on something when she was running.) A week ago she began walking on three legs. She had a very small amount of swelling in the foot of her rear leg. I rested her (walking only on a leash). After about a day and a half she was walking on all four without any apparent problem. After a couple days she ran some with a couple sprints; 20 minutes later she went back to walking on three legs. An hour or so later she was back on four. I have tried to keep her from running the past week, and for the most part I have been successful. This morning she thought she saw something in the yard that needed chasing so she sprinted after it. She started using only three legs again. Less than an hour later she was fine. So...how long does it generally take for a slight fracture to heal...soft tissue injury? She is a very active/physical 3 year old German shepherd dog. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
