Carolyn, I have had this happen twice. Using popsicle sticks or something
similar, splint the leg on the outside and inside to prevent it from bowing
then use vetwrap around the leg. I put something on the outside of the
vetwrap to keep the puppy from chewing like bitterapple. In both cases the
leg only had to be splinted for 1 week then never a problem again. If you
need further help please call me at 307-883-4145.
