Yes, the implant seems to be ok. The third vet - the one from PT - wants us to have him walk more, so that the body is stimulated to heal. If the implant was shifting, there would be a huge callus from the bone trying to make up for the break not being stabilized. However, she is of the opinion that our absolute policy of rest (which we have been following to the letter) is back firing because no weight bearing at all is also not stimulating the body to heal. So, the 5 minutes walks will get the body moving in the right direction for that. We're going to use the treadmill so that we don't have to worry about snow and ice on top of everything else.
