Not too sure... the vet didn't say anything about that.

You can usually tell. If they can not move their leg forward, but have no weight bearing issues, it could be a radial nerve injury. At any rate, best of luck with her, I hope all continues to be well...

She has no trouble moving it forward, and puts some weight on it now.

Thanks for the comments :)
