[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 252980, member: 2459"] I think you've gotten some good medical advice and I don't really have any to add. One thing no one has mentioned though is this....If you want to give it a chance to heal but worry about getting her outside...try helping her up with a piece of fabric. Something like a large towel, sheet or blanket. (If it doesn't hurt her anyway). Run it under her down low on her belly right in front of her hind legs and lift. You can either lift her back end up completely or just help support her while she uses the other leg. Of course, that is assuming it IS her rear leg. If it's one of her front legs, you can still do the same thing but with a little creative modification. I completely understand by the way. We had to put our Taz down last summer but he was older than your Chloe. He had had bad hips for a long time but it got a lot worse and after trying a couple of things, his general health just went downhill fast. In some ways I wish we had done it sooner to save some of his dignity and pain but we just couldn't do it. It just hoovers so much when the spirit is still there but their body isn't willing. Sending hugs. It's hard, but you'll figure out what's best for her. [/QUOTE]
