Luke Creitz: Don't inflict so-called alternative medicine on an innocent puppy ffs.Homeopathy is plane water and sugar pills - never been proved to work beyond placebo for any condition, ever.
Ronald Moehr: Dr. Herb is correct. Comfrey also known as knit bone, it will heal a break. Make a poultice of crushed fresh comfrey leaves and apply to break. Do this several times a day. Leg will heal quicker.
Coleman Ocegueda: Puppy food contains all the nutrients your pup needs to heal optimally. He's at an age where a casted leg might slow him down, but on a cellular level, his leg will heal faster than it would ever heal in his life. Gary is right, avoid the homeopathy - it is wishful thinking and superstition....Show more
Ofelia Kieck: So long as she is taken to a veterinarian, and it is properly immobilized, her leg should heal quite well. Of course, it does depend somewhat on the location of the fracture. Puppies heal quite well because the are still growing! , and have very active bone. Unfortunately if the fracture is at a joint, it could cause problems later on. Bottom line - make sure it is treated, and don't wait. Get follow up x-rays as prescribed by the vet, and keep her from being too active while it's healing....Show more
Johnnie Pummill: Many people will tell you that there are no alternative natural medicines for broken bones, and they are wrong. Having researched quite a lot in my life, and seen miracles that have been produced by many wondrous herbs, I can give you the answer you need. And that answer is "Comfrey".Comfrey has been known for centuries as a priceless herb for wounds, sprains, bruises, and even broken bones in both people and other animals. Farmers have also fed comfrey to their families as a nearly unparalleled source of protein, potassium, calcium, and vitamins A, B12, and C. To that end, it can be eaten in salads, sauteed along with other vegetables, or drunk as a comforting tea.Comfrey's succ! ess as a healing agent is due to allantoinâ€"a substance that ! speeds the production of new cells and aids in wound granulation (healing). Whether you (or in your case, your puppy) are suffering a bruise, sprain, burn, cut, or busted bone, try making a comfrey poultice as the per the following instructions and prepare to be amazed:What you'll need:- Enough comfrey leaves to cover the affected area in a paste- Purified water in some formâ€"preferably distilled water or spring water- A clean piece of gauze, large enough to cover the affected area- Something like an Ace bandage to wrap around the gauze and a pin or tape to hold it in place- A blender or mortar and pestle- A saucepanGrind the leaves with a a mortar and pestle or place them in a blender with about half as much purified water as leaves. Grind or blend away at the comfrey and water until a paste is formed. If it's too soupy, add more leaves. Once you've got your leaves mashed in one way or another, you're ready to heat the paste. In a small saucepan, over very low heat so as ! not to scald the herbs, heat your mixture to a comfortable, soothing temperature, stirring constantly. Once the desired temperature is achieved, spread the paste thickly onto the gauze, place the gauze onto the wound, sprain, etc., and wrap with the bandaging material securely around the gauze pad. (NOTE: If you have an open wound such as a bite or gash, place a fresh gauze pad between the wound and the poultice paste so as not to introduce debris into the wound. For a scrape or scratch, direct introduction of the comfrey should be fine.) Secure with a safety pin or other sturdy fastening, and leave in place until the poultice has dried out, at which point you'll want to replace it with a fresh one.I hope this helps you, and may your dog heal well!Dr. Herb, M.D....Show more
