Continue to work with your veterinarian, but keep him quiet as he recovers...Usually, 2-4 weeks, depending on the situation. If he is dragging the top of his foot, a boot over that foot may help. Good luck. Most dogs seem to recover in time. And yes, a home sitter is probably in his best interest in the future.
