Probably the metacarpal bones.

IF the bones are aligned properly then a splint should do the trick. If the bones aren't aligned then surgery is required. I've seen these types of fractures go either way, but with proper treatment they can be fixed and no one would know the difference in a few months.

I remember posting on your other thread about the fracture. Just remember to keep her confined, don't let her use it like crazy, and keep it from getting wet, especially since the fracture is in her toes. If the bandage gets wet or she is too active, a sore can form right over the toe area and you don't want that to happen since that's where the fracture is (you don't want that to happen no matter where the fracture is but its more important in this case). The hardest part is one you because your the one that has control over her doings. she needs to either be in a crate or in your areas. Only potty time walks and no running, jumping, playing, stairs, or furniture. Good Luck!!
