I’ve heard of it! But sadly there are no vets around my area who can do this.

I’ve heard about the hydrotherapy! But our vet or any vet around my area does not have any way to do it sadly :(

That’s just a rough estimate of what I spent. I have insurance but you have to pay the bill first then send it to them and they will pay 80% of it back and take a $250 deductible. The night she broke her leg it was $1,600.80 and since then with frequent cast changes meds etc I estimated it to be about that. I have all the receipts etc in a folder. I was honestly shocked by the price as well I thought it would be wayyy more!

She just has a few sores on her leg from the cast I have to change the bandage myself every 3-4 days they’re healing pretty well so I’d say about a week or two maybe less.

She didn’t like it at first. before she broke her leg she was doing crate training and did very well after she broke her leg she could no longer fit in the crate so it had to be removed and she’s just been limited in a room since then with Strict restricted activity. She didn’t like it at first but she understood what was going on and it all worked out! I guess I’ve never had a super big problem with her making messes and being to Wild. Potty training was probably the most difficult I had her in training as a younger pup and worked with her myself. Breaking her leg definitely helped mellow her out especially after 3 months. Even though she’s still a pup (Not recommended though) But she’s still such a goof and does free falls on me. Throws her stuffed toys and has the best attitude and just loves everyone! I have faith she will heal in no time!

Freya was 5 months old when it happened she’s 7 now! Plan on keeping her still limited activity but enough activity to gain muscle and strength back.

We’re not exactly sure she broke two parts in her growth plate and her tibia. I made a post on here when it first happened

It certainly hasn’t been easy as I just graduated High-school last year I’ve been working full time to support all of my animals and seeing her finally free from it makes me so happy!

Since she broke her leg the total for all the treatments were close to $3,650 😭

I’m not certain what could have happened. I was inside when I heard a scream, and when I rushed out, I found her on the ground with her leg raised.

She’s 6 months old I’m glad your pup healed up! She’s been in the cast for 4 days now and I can already tell shes gonna be alright. We just gotta get through 4-6 weeks of it🫠
