i'm thinking that if this pup broke his leg it is a fracture of the radius/ulna right above the carpus. its a very popular breaking spot on small dogs.

check out this page Fractured Radius/Ulna (Toy Breed) - Acacia Pet Clinic -We Care About Pets as it has some nice shots
ok thanks glad to know this in case this comes up again I hate when i get wrong info

ok the other thing is they said there really isn't anything they can do for a broken bone in a paw if it is broken - is this true?

also they said they show signs of alot of pain when broken is this true ?
