Hooray, Tazzy has healed enough to be released from the splint. He is still on restricted activity status for another 2 weeks and new X-rays in a month to check progress. He is sporting the dreaded cone because he has some abrasions from being in a splint for 7 weeks and he gets OCD about bathing and licking those spots. The Cone is to limit his ability to lick and chew on those spots to allow them to heal. Chow time with a cone Skinny leg due to limited use since the break. No splint; swollen paw. Boo Boo leg; abrasions from 7 weeks of splinting.
