How soon can my dog walk after lump removal surgery on his hind leg?

I would make sure his pain is adequately controlled and the margins of the biopsy were clean. You may want to have x-rays performed to ensure there is no abnormality to the underlying bone or joints.

Bandage is only necessary if the incision was not closed back completely, in such a case a bandage may be needed until the wound heals and closes up, otherwise it is usually better to keep it unbandaged, just try to keep the flies away from the wound so it doesn't get infected.

Post up care for an uncomplicated incision is 7 days of keeping it clean and dry. If an e collar will not fit and it bothers him, you can always put a baby sock over his nails. If his collar can't go due to the incision you can always switch to a halter or use a leash an incorporate one arm thru to hold him

I suspect that lump is related to the plate removal but I do recommend to call your veterinarian. They may want to see her before three days. Sometimes pets don’t realize that the previously broken leg is fixed. Sometimes there is still residual pain. I recommend to discuss with your veterinarian if physical therapy would benefit Kenya. This will help to retrain her brain to use the leg as well as improve the musculature which will make it more stable. I hope this helps and best of luck.

Toby may need x-rays to diagnose what is going on with his foot. That is a very odd lump. If he had fractures to the small bones in this region, then they may have healed improperly and caused the lump you see. It is also possible that there is on-going inflammation in that area that could benefit from medications. There is also a small possibility of a tumor in that area. Your vet should be able to figure out what is going on. If it is not cancerous, there are several treatments you could try before going to surgery, including anti-inflammatory medications, glucosamine supplements, Adequan injections, acupuncture, or physical therapy. But first, we need to figure out what is the exact process of the injury so that the appropriate treatment can be started.

It could be that this lump on his front leg is a cyst, but if it's preventing him from running and going on long walks without limping, it should be removed surgically. I would speak to the vet about possibly doing this for the lump. As for the new lump, that should be examined by a vet as well and a sample of the fluid should be examined to see if it is a cyst, benign tumor, or malignant tumor. If it's a cyst, then it can be removed as well surgically.

The dog should be kept as quiet as possible for 6-12 weeks to ensure that the bone sets and heals properly. This means no running, jumping, or playing, and the dog should be taken out to toilet on a lead only. Once x-rays are done to confirm that the bone has fully healed, the dog will be allowed to exercise and activity levels must be built back up slowly. Physical therapy and hydrotherapy may be done to help the dog regain it's muscle mass and activity levels.
