My Bluebelle broke her elbow when she was a small pup, just fell down a little step in the garden. She has a pin and a screw in her leg and was out of hospital in 3 days and walking, but confined to crate. After 2 weeks we had an xray done and the bones was completely healed in one direction (to the point you could no longer see the break) and the other was healed but not completely.
Others are not so lucky, but the outcome on small dogs with good rest tends to be very good.
At some point the metalwork may need to come out, but not so far.
Best of luck. |
