Hi again, Dr. Salkin. We removed Noble's splint last week as he wasn't weight bearing on it and was in distress. We found two infected sores and have been treating them. Noble is now weight bearing but still limping. Should I take him in to get his leg resplinted after the sores heal, or can I keep him as is? Also, should I clean the sores more frequently than every 36 hours?

I left my puppy in Arizona alone with my cousin because the airport refused to let my puppy fly without a rabies certificate stating the puppy received the rabies vaccine 30 days before the flight. Now, I need help to ship my puppy as soon as possible because my cousin can't deal with puppies and dogs. What can I do to expedite this process?
