I don't know what all you have considered. We had a very small pom that had a head injury from a much larger dog that punctured her skull just walking by our home from the sidewalk and went up and bit her. After three weeks to get her stable we were taking her every other day to get the pressure relieved from the wound. Finally after the third such sessions the head vet suggested Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Turns out the Vet that started this for dogs was in Boca which was close then. The cost turned out to not be that bad so we bought 6 treatments over a two week period. We filmed her before the first treatment and she could barely walk and when she did it was unstable and mostly in circles. After treatment one she looked a lot more normal and the wounds also stopped being an issue. After the six she fully recovered. I don't know if this is available in your area, or if it would work in this situation, but it was the closest thing I've ever seen to a miracle.

I may look into that.. Thanks, Michael!

Had my first post-op today, everything seems to be going OK. The dreaded compression sock is no more, stitches are out, I can stop wearing the brace at night (yay!), and if I'm sitting I can unlock it to 90 degrees. Still no weight bearing for another month, though. It's a lot of strain on the right leg and my back, but overall good progress.

Good news!

I’d forgotten about the misery of compression socks.

Excellent news mate - well done.

Good luck with the continued rehab.

I have most of my mobility back,but not that much hand strength yet.

Yes, but a poor excuse compared to sacrificing yourself to save a cat.
