How to tell if a dog has a broken bone
After a dog breaks a bone, he or she may experience pain, sensitivity, uneven force on the leg, and reluctance to move. It is best to take it to an animal hospital for diagnosis through professional medical equipment, such as CT, X-ray, DR, etc. This type of imaging examination can confirm whether the dog has a fracture.

The unique symptoms of puppy fractures are deformed fractures, displacement at both ends, such as angular displacement, longitudinal axis displacement, lateral displacement, rotational displacement, etc., and abnormal postures such as short spindle bending and elongation of the affected limb. The second is abnormal activities, such as flexion, rotation and other abnormal activities when the affected limb is loaded or passively moved, and bone friction sounds can be heard at the broken end of the bone. In addition, symptoms such as bleeding, swelling, pain, and waveforms can be seen.
