My Saluki bred pup broke a toe at 12 weeks old: was in a cast for 10 days then I realised that he was in a lot of pain: I took it off and his whole leg was horribly twisted: like he was trying to walk on the inside of this wrist! Took him to a good Greyhound vet who said not to worry.

Light exercise for the next couple of months: by the time he was 6 months old the leg was perfectly straight and you'd never know he'd done anything to it. It did take at least a couple of months to straighten though: wish I'd taken some before and after pics: it looked dreadful and you'd never have thought it would straighten out.

Just be patient and give him gentle exercise: not easy with a pup, and in fact after a couple of weeks on the lead with a high bred Saluki type going mental I said 'sod it' to myself and let him do what he wanted. He's 100% fine now and the leg is just like the other one.
