    Honestly whatever works best for you, since you're the one who has to get it on there! :)

    Leg joint out of place?

    That really looks and sounds like splay leg to me. I'd give hobbling a try. The easiest way I've found to do them is to take a strip of vet wrap or medical tape (the papery kind), cut it to a 1/4 in strip about twice as long as you want the hobble to be.
