    Broken Leg

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Our Joey broke his leg racing. It did not heal properly. After we adopted him, the vet fused his leg together and placed a plate with pins in it. He told us that it would probably need to be removed in about six months before the bone grew over it. We did have it removed because the pins caused bruising the first time Joey ran through the house. Joey now has a corn on that foot which from what I understand is not uncommon when they break a leg because they may walk a little differently. I feel in Joey's case that is the cause of his corn because his leg is still not right, but it is as good as it is going to get. He does wear a boot when he walks outside and he does fine.
