Shaylie's Cast is off!

We went to the doctor today and Shaylie's cast was removed. She didn't like the big buzzing saw at all but she handled it very well. Her leg was mighty grungy and flaky under the cast, but I brought her home and gave her a bath (finally!!!) and it seems to be doing better. She won't put any weight on it though. The doctor said that would be likely, we should give her a couple days or even a couple weeks before she feels comfortable walking on it. I saw the x-rays they took today and the break was still visible but it was beginning to heal. So we will take good care of her until she's good as new. We go back in a month for another x-ray followup. We will let you know!
