Leg weights after surgery

My young dog had Legg Perthes operated on about 4 weeks ago. He needs to have a weight on his leg for short periods of time. Any imaginative people out there have any ideas? He's a Pomeranian so that makes it even harder as he's only 3kg. I've googled trying to buy something but can't find anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks :)

Another thought.  Try the jewelry section of a crafts store.  You might find a heavy ring that's open at the bottom and bendable.  You will surely find beads and elastic thread or fixed string and class from which you could make a tiny weighted bracelet.

Does it actually need to be weight or will the additional muscles and rang of movement created when strapping a TTouch Pad to it do the same job? That is what I would do. Easy to make or buy. It will create him to lift him leg higher on his own therefore using the muscles well.
