I have a 16 week old chihuahua that broke its leg. It was splinted last week but after xrays today I'm told that his little bone shifted and he must have an operation tomorrow to put in a metal plate. He has turned out to be a very expensive little pup. I asked the vet what vitamins I could give him to help strengthen it's bones. He said dogs bones aren't like human bones and just to give it a high quality puppy food. However....I find that hard to believe and would like to give him something to help mend this bone or strengthen his bones. Can I give him calcium tablets or anything homopathic/naturopathic ???? What dosage for a 2 pound dog??? Any info at this stage would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your time.
