Poor Patches! In order to know if she has a broken or dislocated leg, you will need to take her to a veterinarian for an exam and x-rays. This is not something that can be diagnosed or treated at home, so please take her to an emergency clinic tonight to be seen. If you're not sure where to go, try calling your regular vet's office - their voicemail message should have a contact number for your nearest ER or an on-call doctor for emergencies.
