Fractures

Fractures are cracks or breaks in bones. Suspect a fracture if the animal refuses to put weight on a leg, if a limb is not in a normal position or is dangling limply. Swelling occurs very quickly over a broken bone in any location. Fractures are categorized as open (bone protruding through the skin) or closed. A major goal of First Aid is to prevent a closed fracture from becoming an open fracture.

	If the bone is exposed, cover with a light bandage to keep it as clean as possible.
	Move a limb with a suspected fracture as little as possible. While splinting can be done with many fractures, it is simpler to support the leg with a folded towel or blanket before transporting to a veterinarian.
	Sprains and strains are injuries to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons. Sprains, strains, and dislocated joints can all be difficult to tell from a fracture. Only an X-ray can evaluate this type of injury accurately.
