[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1527443, member: 3162"] I've done about 6 in my life. None the same. All were youngsters. If you can split PVC pipe on a table saw it works great. The last one I did in thirds versus halves and I just used 2 of the thirds. Gauzed the leg (vet wrap) then paint stick (large) splints, then PVC cover, then duct tape. I have wide duct tape and splints and pvc in the med box. Only because the cows were 20 miles from the house and you never know what you'll find when you get there. I never thought of a pool noodle. Other times (much of the time) it is simply a hyper-extended knee and not actually a break. 3 weeks of splint seems to do the trick. You can use the pvc over and over Hopefully you'll never need it again. [/QUOTE]
