He was up and about really soon after the surgery, but appeared
to be wobbly, not able to walk well.
At first we thought it had something to do with the anaesthesia,
but after taking a closer look this morning, it seems he has a
broken hind leg.
He was perfectly fine before the surgery (apart from the tumor).
I tried calling the veterinarian today, but they are already on
vacation until next Wednesday.
Is it possible that they handled him wrong?
I'm not really sure
what to do about this. A broken leg doesn't need any special
treatment, as far as I've read, unless there's swelling or the
bone breaks the skin, right?
