My dog fell into my flower bed and actually bent my stem of one of my most healthy females. I have used small piece of tape and a bread tie to tie it up to a tomato cage. DO you think it will heal?

If it is just bent and not actually broke then it should be fine.

Maybe try a splint. Take 2 chop sticks, kabob scewers or popsicle sticks and tape them around the stem were it cracked or bent. As you would a splint on your finger.
After a week or 2 take it off. Should be fine.

Take a look at the pic just posted in my gallery of a snapped girl. I used a bamboo plant stake and twine to hold her back together doing good so far
