Just took Banjo back to the Vet for his splint removal and check. Well unfortunately his leg has not healed at all and is actually worse than when the vet set it originally. She thinks he must have knocked it on something in the last 2 weeks and so it is really crooked.
So tomorrow he will be having surgery on it and they are going to put in a metal rod to keep it straight and help it to heal straight and he will have to have another cast on for 6 more weeks. Poor Baby.
Also depending upon what they find when they operate he might have to have 2 rods put in instead of one. If this is the case then they will be permanent rods, but if he only has to have one then they will remove that rod after his leg has healed.
Banjo is not happy right now as he is and the Vet said that he would not be able to walk on that leg at all if we just left it, so we are definitely going ahead with the surgery.
