A dog’s joint fracture generally needs more than a month to recover, with the exact time depending on fracture severity, age, and physical condition. During recovery, limit the dog’s activity and avoid strenuous exercise to prevent secondary injury. Under a veterinarian’s guidance, give bone-repair and pain-relief or anti-inflammatory medication, and allow some sunlight to promote bone recovery.
