Had a gyp that had a hog cut hers into and ripped the top part away from the muscle. She had surgery and a partial cast that was adjusted every three days, she is a stocky dog and the cast kept slipping. If they do cast or wrap watch for swelling and sores. After six weeks, took cast and wraps off and cryed. Her hock would almost touch the ground. Hand walked for two weeks and then started swimming her in a pool for the next four weeks and then started taking her on short hunts. She is about 90% on this leg. She was worth it but it was a lot of work.
