Lola went through the same thing about three months ago. She broke her leg for the second time and we opted for the orthopedic surgery. She now has 5 screws and a plate in her front leg. It was so difficult to keep her cooped up all of the time. She would go nuts and bark all day when she was confined. We finally put up baby gates so that she would be confined in one room. Not exactly what the dr ordered, but it worked for us. She had her first x-ray at 8 weeks and they said everything was healing fine. She has another x-ray on July 18th and we are hoping that she will be fully healed and that everything is still alligned. I don't know how others do it, I guess this is a sign of why you should crate train your dog. We never did and I think that is why it was so dificult to confine Lola. Good luck with your dog. I hope everything heals great.
