I thought I would not put the back harness on overnight, so he'd be more comfortable but by morning Leo had chewed off his sock and slipped out of the brace! His face was damp from mouthing at it just as the sock was. When I sat up in bed, he got up and started hobbling towards me; I freaked out!
My husband and I together struggled to keep the sock on properly while putting his leg back in the brace so for the day we thought we'd try the brace without the sock. Friday evening it was OK but he had still chewed off the 'make-shift' velcro strap and sticky pieces. There were 2 that she applied at the fitting Leo was able to chew these off. The straps that Janice had built into the brace with velcro and metal hooks are secure. I guess he is just going to have to deal with this new braced leg and harness strap. I emailed Janice she advised to always use the harness for the best suspension and the socks for absorption and to watch for chaffing; he has a small sore in one area.
I am to remove his brace daily and check for any sores. It also relieves him of it for a bit while I change his sock.
