I have been where you are. Jess broke her front leg and needed bone grafts, plates and screws because the first vet casted it and I didn't know any better. Anyway, I will tell you my surgeon said "no walking, none" for 6 weeks. She was kept in a crate that was big enough for her bed, water and a pee pad.then we lowered the top by making a makeshift ceiling, and padded the entire thing with furniture moving pads so if she even tried to sand against the sides she landed basically on soft pillow. I carried her around in a doggie purse that had holes in the leg area and in a stroller. That pup was my morning noon and night for six weeks. I hardly left her. It was hard but now a year later she runs on that leg like it never happened. My surgeon was even surprised and how both her radius and ulna healed. It is imperative that they walk as little as possible. Jess took steps, maybe two or three at a time but that was it. I also got calming meds from the dr because they do go a little stir crazy. Jess had some weird habits when she was confined but they all went away. Good luck and I hope your pup does as well..
