My lab just hurt her leg, advice needed

My 1.5 year old chocolate lab jumped off the four wheeler a bit ago and hurt her leg. She immediately got up holding it close to her body. I'm almost positive it's broken. We're on the way to the emergency vet now, just wondering what I can expect.

No advice until you promise follow up outcome posts. For all I know slick is still at the vet with his dog!

Not an emergency. Wait till morning

Shouldn't be that bad. I had to have emergency surgery on my boxer and it was only a tad over $400.

This is my first post back in a while, I recently graduated college got a job and stuck my neck out into the real world. Been super busy, too bad it had to be an emergency to bring me back.
I'll post some follow ups. I've been on google searching for info, and so far I've ruled out amputation and euthanizing. This gal is my partner and I'm gonna do my best to get her fixed.

Seriously? Well, if you got a regular vet.. crate her for the night and wait till the morning and save you some $$$

Any doggy aspirin out there?

Good luck, I hop she is OK.

Get two sticks and some duck tape.
Seriously. My border collie has broken two legs. The second one she tore the cast off in 30 minutes. I duck taped it. Vet said I did a damn fine job of resetting it.

A nice bill but a good dog is worth every penny IMO

I'm almost to the vet with her now, gonna get her some pain meds and a splint hopefully, then bring her my regular vet tomorrow. I'm from Catahoula parish
Posted on 5/30/13 at 8:52 pm to tigah headache
All she needs is a splint.
Posted on 5/30/13 at 8:52 pm to Nascar Fan
She's definitely worth every penny. I trained her myself, she makes every hunt that I make, and she sleeps in her own bed right next to mine. She's just like a kid to me.
