Question
Our computer keyboard fell on our 7 week old puppies foot he has been limping all day can it be broken?

Answer
That really depends on how big your puppy is. If it is a small breed dog the chances of breaking those tiny, fragile bones is great. If it is a big dog the chances are more that it is very bruised but could have a green stick fracture. The only way to know is have the vet take an xray if he is limping tomorrow as well.
