I am concerned about my dog's (F 1yr9mo) post surgical treatment for fractured radius and ulna.

I'm sorry to hear that your fur baby is going through this. It's normal to have concerns, especially after such a big procedure. Post-surgical care is crucial for a smooth recovery. Primarily, you want to ensure she stays relatively calm to allow the bones to heal properly. Too much activity can disrupt the healing process, so keep her confined in a comfortable space, preventing her from running or jumping.



Watch her incision site for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or discharge. It’s also important to monitor her appetite and energy levels; any sudden changes could indicate discomfort or complications. Managing her pain is vital, so make sure she’s receiving her prescribed pain medications as directed.



Since she's still young and likely full of energy, also providing her with chew toys or food puzzles can help distract her from her cast or bandages.



If you notice persistent swelling, increased pain, or if she's not putting any weight on the affected leg after a period, those could be signs to consult with a vet promptly.



Don't hesitate to book a video consult with Dial A Vet if you have any questions or concerns during her recovery period. We’re here to help ensure she heals comfortably and completely!
