Default Re: Rehabilitation and therapy for dogs that have lost limbs.
thanks siew yen,
i'm really at quite a loss with this pup.. i've no experience with this situation before. i've seen tripod dogs live perfectly normal and active lives but i suppose this one is not used to her condition yet.. she drags the stump on the ground so the stump is raw and scabby..

she was rescued by rebecca and anne and their friends on sunday.. i've only been fostering her since last night. she doesn't make a sound or even move an inch in my presence..

should i put a sock on the stump? or wrap it up with a bandage?
