I am glad you did not amputate, does not sound like too severe a break since it was splinted, with severe fractures often it is a surgical procedure where the bones are pinned to piece and hold them together, in some cases bone must be taken(grafted) from another part of the body to fill in missing areas where the damage is too severe.


My greyhound was a former Grade A racer but during his last race he fractured his hock, his trainer and racing owner kept him and looked after his injuries themselves, they injury took place in early August it was late October before he was recovered enough and walking on all four legs as required to be place in the track adoption kennel. In November he was transported to an adoption kennel here is Canada and on January 4, I found him and adopted him. He was still having pain in the leg I started him on 800 mg of glucosamine, 400mg of chondroitin and 300mg MSM which he stayed on for a year and half, I took him off a couple of times earlier but he was still showing signs of pain so kept him on till he was pain free.

You can see from the picture that his hock did not set completely straight


but that does not stop him from chasing squirrels/rabbits in the yard or playing
