[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1634403, member: 16453"] Looks like a distal metatarsal fracture. These have been known to heal without intervention in this age animal. Usually an oblique fracture giving lots of surface area opposed to help with healing. It looks fairly fresh to me, that swelling comes up quick which also helps to immobilise it. If you can get him in to get him looked at that would be good however if that is a bit difficult I would not stress about leaving him where he is for now. No bones seem to have penetrated the skin from the photos. Ken [/QUOTE]
