Hey guys, I'm a fawn rehabber in North Carolina and I could use some advice. I received a young fawn about two weeks ago with a clean break in the back leg. She was unable to stand at all and we were starting to think there was more damage to her back end then we originally thought. We had the leg set, and it stayed wrapped for about 5-6 days. Because she was immobile and the bandages were becoming soiled, we removed them. Now, after almost two weeks of not being able to get up, she is up and moving (she has been up and walking for three days now and improving every day)! She does put weight on the bad leg, but not much. Now, my question involves the healing. The bone did not stay set long enough and is now very swollen and you can actually see where the bone is. I have attached some pictures. Hopefully someone can help
