Buster the puppy with a broken leg




Not long after Sophie arrived in New Hampshire, I recieved an email about a puppy needing a foster home and a medical evaluation for an injured leg. When the picture came it was impossible to say no to this guy!







Xrays confirmed he has a fractured right rear Tibia. The fracture is lined up very well and was already starting to calicify, so the vet felt that splinting the leg for a few weeks would be better and let him heal without major surgery. His splint needs to be changed weekly but other than that he just needs a place to hang out and recover before finding his new home. Its a hard job but someone has to do it, and with Lexi the golden retrievers help Im sure we will muttle through.
