A bone must be stabilized to heal, which means that it musst not move at the break. If it is still moving even with the pin. it should be put in a splint or brace. Giving homeopathic symphytum or calc phos aids the healing. Anti-inflammatories often delay bone healing, so if the vet gave an NSAID for pain, stop it and ask him for Tramadol instead.
