I have an 8yr old Pomeranian with a broken leg. He has a hard splint and doesn't seem to be in pain. He is eating and drinking, but he can't figure out how to go pee or poop. It has been almost 2 days and my vet said to give him another day. I have tried assisting him with a towel, taking him to a patch of grass that he uses frequently, etc. every time he tries to walk on his own, he goes backwards and gives up. Any advice??
@MelB,
I wonder if he'd benefit from being up high, like on a box or other small platform. I'm just kind of spitballing here, but if he can't lift his leg, he's not going to be happy - so the concept behind the platform is to make him think he's lifting, if that makes any sense.
