Splinting a dogs leg can be difficult if you don't know were the break is exactly
But the mane thing is to immobilize the leg and stop it from moving
Vets use one layers of cotton wrap 2-3 layer of gauze and 1-3 layers of vet wrap
Wrapped around the whole leg to completily immobilize it,it would be wize to go to a vet as soon
as possible if you think your dogs leg is broken, you know no first aid can be better then bad first aid.

Well, from my knowledge, they had a tool called a Leg Splint. It was a wooden thing that would attach to your leg.

I'm glad we have good medical services and ways to help our legs and NOT use Leg Splints.

How long should you wait after a dog splint to take to vet?
If the dog's leg is actually broken, then there should be a cast on the leg instead of a splint. A broken bone on a dog can take as long to heal as a broken bone on a person, which is approximately six weeks. If you believe you dog's leg is broken, but haven't yet taken the dog to the vet, please do so immediately; a splint is simply not adequate to help the bone mend. If your dog already has a splint, then wait for the vet to remove it.
