My 20 pound female leopard had surgery to remove broken eggs 10/2014. She has had a fiberglass patch for almost 2 years. One edge has been loose for a few months. We cut it off this morning to prevent her from catching it on weeds and grass.
It does not appear healed underneath. After my initial panic, I am thinking maybe the bone has healed, and this is the keratin (spelling? right word?) covering the bone that would be expected to die as new growth pushes it off?
Anyone have any experience with this kind of injury, and recovery?
I have an email in to the vet. Would appreciate experienced opinions.I have not lifted on it at aall, but it is not attached at all along the line. It pushes in.
