Depending on the severity of the fracture, plates, pins or wires may be applied to the injured limb. In less severe fractures, a cast may be used. Recovery time depends on the type of fracture, the animal's age and the number of fractures involved. Normally, an uncomplicated fracture will take eight weeks to heal. Treating a fracture can range from a simple cast to a lengthy surgery with subsequent visits.
Prevention is much less painful than the cost and cure.
Make sure your pet doesn't get into dangerous situations.
