I know my uncle has a dog and she hurt her leg. Didn't know what happened to it or how it happened but she needed surgery. Still can't walk right on the leg. IMO you did do the right thing taking it to the vet right away. Next time I suggest getting a bigger dog. They're dumber (or at least my dog is) but man they're sturdy and built like a ton of bricks (or, again at least mine is.)http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
