How did pioneers treat a broken leg?
If it was a dislocation, they'd pull it back into place like they do today. If it was a break that remained contained, i.e. bone not sticking out of the skin, they would pull it back into place the best they could and then splint it. Tie to boards or rods on either side of the leg. If the bone popped out of the skin, they were pretty much goners. I supposed they'd set it but chances were too good that infection would take the limb or their life. If you look at how the average lifespan had close to doubled between 1900 and 2000 it's all because of anti-biotics.

How did the pioneers splint up a broken leg?
Well, from my knowledge, they had a tool called a Leg Splint. It was a wooden thing that would attach to your leg. If you were in need of a leg splint, some would just chop off a tree branch and use that. Many infections and such things as the Leg Splint were what caused disease and other infections. 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.
