I've spoken to the vet again. She's had her xrays, and the good news is that its only her leg that got injured. The bad news is that it is broken, and not cleanly :( Both bones have splintered :-\
She will hopefully have her op tomorrow, and if everything goes to plan, in about 6 weeks she will be back to normal, and will be hard to believe it ever happened. However operations always carry a degree of risk, and theres also a slight possibility of a problem with the blood supply to the area which would affect healing. Also a possibly it wont knit back together properly.
BUT shes a young dog, will be 4 end of April. She's fit, healthy, and the odds are that she'll be fine. Jsut get to wait now. Hopefully she'll be home tomorrow, then we go back after 6 weeks for another xray to see if all is as it should be
