The vet wrapped it so loosely that I'm not sure what good it's doing if any. I decided to wrap it a bit more bc she's a puppy and can't keep her still very long even though I'm drugging her 3 times a day with trazadone. Is there a reason it was wrapped so loosely and am I hurting the healing process by wrapping Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-12518672831872208462018-09-11T10:10:58.281-04:002018-09-11T10:10:58.281-04:00Which leg is it?

There are ways to assess this injury without x-rays; in fact, x-rays provide only marginally more information.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-56599179538068214402018-09-10T14:23:11.020-04:002018-09-10T14:23:11.020-04:00I have a german shepherd that weighs about 120..

He was playing and I noticed a limp so I took him in and she said it was arthritis, which I found hard to believe since he is only 4 yrs old never had any issues but allergies. The next day he was playing and all of a sudden he picked his leg up high and wont walk on it at all.
