Yes, they're all straight. I hope I don't have to have her put down. She looks miserable when she's on her side like that.

I would keep working with her. It can take some time to get used to the leg hobbles. I use a bandaid cut longways and you can use a thin strip of vet wrap. Helping her stand or placing her in a small cup or wine glass to strengthen her legs can help. The hobble should stay on for 3-4 days until she doesn’t need it. Here is a good link about splay leg:

Thanks. It turns out it was just a leg injury and it has healed completely! She walksfine and I think will be okay.
