These are all good signs of improvement of blood flow and movement! Encourage her to gradually use the leg as much as possible and discuss with your veterinarian possible physiotherapy exercise (if she tolerates it) to speed up recovery. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
