Here you can see the cast which is protecting the leg we couldn't afford to have surgery on, and the shaved leg which is the one that had an open fracture and was corrected with surgery. The surgical scar runs from the inside of the shaved thigh all the way down to his ankle. In a few days when he starts itching from the scar, I'll have to put one of those Elizabethan animal collars on him...oh he will not be happy! Anyone have tips on how to help a pet cope with one of these??
