My dog has a broken femur. What are the treatment and recovery steps?

Question

Hi, Someone please help me, this is the image I got from the vet, they said my dog snapped the femur-the truth hurts, it just six months earlier, cancers are still running normal jump , You helped me see there is any method that can treat for my dog, I'm very sad. Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you so much :(. Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Female | spayed | 5 months and 12 days old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, Dolla has a broken femur. The best treatment is a surgical repair. I recommend discussing the surgery with your vet. After surgery she will need 6-8 weeks to heal. Luckily she is young so she should do well with the procedure and recovery. Good luck and kisses to Dolla!
