My 3 MO old ram broke his front leg about 5 weeks ago. I think he broke it at the shoulder and threw... "elbow"? I guess that's what you call that joint. It would be my elbow in any case.
I splinter it for the shoulder first and after 2 weeks took the splint off the shoulder and placed it around the elbow with cotton wrapping to pad the splint itself.
After 2 weeks u took that one off but it looks the exact same. It's completely limp. He has no control over moving that joint.
I placed the splint back on but this time I wrapped it too tight and that just looked terrible. Fortunately I caught that after 1 day but he stayed to chew the wool off his leg. It's ugly and I don't know anything to do. The closest vet is 1hour away and they're terribly expensive. I can't afford them especially with recent financial burdens that come at the most inopportune time.
I'm sorry. I don't know if this is more of a rant, a plea for help or a journal but I think I may need to get it off my head.
