After speaking with our vet, Hubba made a splint with PVC pipe, cotton batting and vet wrap. It took a couple of revisions to get it to stay in place.
Silas wore the splint most of the summer and got the the point to where he was quite mobile on three legs.
We reduced the support the splint provided over about last six weeks and completely removed the splint a few weeks ago.
It took about a week for Silas to realize that he could put weight on his foot and about another week to start using his leg for walking.
We're not out of the woods yet, but his prognosis is excellent.
He looks a little funny with one leg un-sheared. :-)
