my baby harley 4 lbs yesterday and 71/2 months old jumped off the chair in our den and broke his leg. our vet here said they could not repair because of break and we drovehim yesterday to a specialty clinic in memphis, tn. the surgery was today and he came thru surgery good and is awake. i hope he will be able to come home friday. the dr said he would need to be crated for months instread of weeks. he broke his left front leg between his ankle and his knee. they put in a plate and some tiny screws. I am devastated. I don't know what to expect and have been trying to find any post about this to get more information. does anyone have any ideas? or has anyone had any experience like this. My last yorkie never had any problems and i feel like such a horrible mother! :
