Denise, You would probably be better off having the leg amputated. A dog can do great with three legs, but a useless leg will just cause it problems. But until you make a decision, I would sew some strips of socks. Take an old sock and sew up several strips and cut them out so it is basically like a sock in pup size. Take it all the way up. I had to do this with Dora when she broke her leg in order to keep the cast clean. I would take an old man's sock and sew from the foot all the way up to the top...for Dora it was about a half inch strip. Judge what size this baby needs. Then since it is a pup and likely to walk in poop ect right now, you may also want to cut the finger off of a latex glove and cover the foot of the sock with that. Don't cover the whole sock because it needs to breath. And make sure it isn't too tight :-) Marsha
