Fracture recovery and joint supplement use is an area where I'd want to understand where in the healing process you are. Some supplements have mild blood-thinning effects at high doses that are relevant if there's still active surgical healing underway. How far post-surgery is she, and is the fracture site itself in a joint or adjacent to one?
Six weeks post ORIF plating on the tibia. Not in the joint itself but close to the stifle. The surgeon has cleared her for gentle movement. No current supplements.

Six weeks post-ORIF with surgical clearance for movement — you're past the acute healing window and into the rehabilitation phase. At this stage a joint supplement makes good sense, particularly given the stifle proximity. I'd recommend 4Cyte Canine. The Epiitalis component supports cartilage cell health, which is relevant for a joint that's been under immobilisation stress and altered load during the fracture period. Start at one pump daily and mention it to the orthopaedic surgeon at the next check so it's in the notes.
