If she is worth it take her back. Comfrey worked well for helping me heal up a buckling that badly broke his leg. But the bones have to stay aligned for any healing to take place.

Comfrey is great to help healing bones, swellings, and inflammation:

I have an 8 week doeling who broke a hind leg about a week ago. The vet re-aligned the bones and splinted it. She still doesn't put any weight on it at all, and there is a suspicious swelling at about the point were the bone(s) are broken. Should I take her back to vet for an X-ray to check the alignment, or is it not worth the time and trouble?
