It's a horrible thing to happen to a little pup but sometimes accidents do happen. I think it is a good sign that the owner was honest and told you about it, I bet she was really nervous about telling you. I know when Poppy was small I had her a week or two and when I gave her a bath for the first time I noticed her tail was bent on the end, took her to the vets and he confirmed it was broken but was an old break and fully healed. I was SO nervous about telling her breeder next time I saw her because I didnt want anyone to think I was a bad owner and hurting my dogs because I would NEVER do that. (The vet said it was probably done while she was being born or not long after).
But it is good that the owner of your pup is making sure the little one has proper vet care, hoping she has a speedy recovery!
