If your dog has broken its leg again, the veterinarian will likely immobilize the leg with a cast or splint and may also prescribe pain medication. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the broken bone.
If the limping is due to another issue, the veterinarian will recommend the appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause. For example, if the limping is due to pain from an old injury, the veterinarian may recommend physical therapy or massage. If the limping is due to a muscle strain, the veterinarian may recommend rest and pain medication. If the limping is due to a joint problem, such as arthritis, the veterinarian may recommend medication, joint supplements, or surgery.
