My 2 weeks old puppy had been fallen by a plywood while she’s sleeping then she now has a broken neck, what should i do? Does I need to brace her neck? How would it be possible that it will work to straighten her neck again? Bytheway her neck has been tilted sideways. Thank you in advance

If Onay's neck is broken it is best to seek veterinary care immediately. You will want to keep the body and head as stable and immobile as possible to prevent further injury until your vet can examine it.
