    Status update- she is still not showing any sign of improvement but she is still eating and drink well. Show I be worry that her leg isn't back to normal yet or should I give her more time, she has no other symptoms.

    Status update no improvement but no signs of it getting worse. She is still limping around and still has a nice grip and is fully able to bend her when laying down so it's not stiff(thank god)
