So, few days ago Quincy had her leg impression done and shipped of for manufacturing. We're lucky enough to live 45 min from Orthopets in Mission B.C.http://www.orthopets.com/index.htm Allicia was wonderful, our initial consult was at no charge providing great info and Quincy was very relaxed with her.
My vet was very sceptical initially, refusing to give the required referral to something he's never heard of. Not only did he give the referral after checking out the brace but he's requesting info for another patient of his also.
The brace will be here in around two weeks, we'll have a fitting and a two week break in period. After two weeks an adjustment visit, after two more weeks another visit for needed adjustments and continuous monitoring for pressure points. After nine months Quincy will have another assessment on her knee and if we're lucky it'll be healed. If not, we just keep using the brace.
In Quincy's case the prediction is that she'll be back on our mountain trails around the end of June :) Wish us luck!!
Here's some pics of Quincy's leg impression being done.
