In my experience with rescues who came to me with broken legs, surgery has always been needed. However, I know that a couple of people on here have had success with casts. If it has been three weeks with no sign of healing than I think that surgery is your only option. It sounds like the plate would be the best option but I think that you need to find a good vet to speak to. IMHO, I don't like to use an emergency vet unless I have just that, an emergency. Your emergency vet could recommend an orthopedic specialist in your area who would probably do the best job but would be more expensive. I hope everything goes okay. Please let us know what you decide and how she does.
