littlefish 587 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hopefully as she is so young and light and her bones have a lot of growing still to do she can make a good recovery. My terrier pup had a broken back leg at about 12 weeks and it was splinted and she recovered well. I believe keeping her as quiet and still as possible (as you can with a young pup) (immobilized in a cage moslty) helped. Good luck. Keep us posted on her progress.

Providing there are no complications the dog will be fine....the dog in my avatar broke his leg at around the same age and came back everybit as good....same thing happend again 3 nights ago (diff dog) so he's currently in a cast hopefully will be back in action around Jan - Feb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
