First, I need to know which rib is broken and what type of this fracture is before I can give you more accurate answer. If the limping(should be front leg) is on the same side of fractured rib, the lameness of this leg possible is due to pain from the movement of the leg when the dog tries to walk. If the limping is on the rear legs or the other side of the front leg, may be there are something wrong on these legs. You need to ask your Doctor to do more thorough examination to find out the real problem. I need you give me more detail information. If you have x-ray please e-mail to Amy.
