How can I splint my dogs leg, while letting the pressure sores heal?

Sunday, October 13th, 2013

Recently my dog had surgery on his hind leg as a result his front leg started to bow.  So, the vet put his front leg in a splint, which then developed pressure sores that need to heal, but the vet kept putting a splint back on his leg and it keeps getting worse.  I am not taking him back to that vet anymore.  The leg needs to heal and the only way the sores can heal if they have air and antiseptic.  Please help. – Amber
