They went with a splint because shes growing. They will be checking it weekly and doing dressing changes bi weekly. We put clear tape around the bottom for waterproofing. Vet did say we could see an ortho specialist if we wanted but because shes young it should heal fast and not bother her later in life. She does seem to be better with the pain meds now maybe they just hadn't kicked in that night. The kong was a great idea kept her entertained for a while last night and I like the pen idea. I want to do what I can for her, shes just a hyper puppy and wants to play so 4 wks of restriction is rough and she's clueless to why we wont let her run around.
