ok i don't believe either yet. Yes the break is 2 weeks old now which is bad, but the orthopedic surgeon should be able to do something. I work for one and we would not have sent you away without doing something. You said your dog has a Y fracture. I'm assuming you mean a Intercondylar fracture of the elbow joint. These are fixable. Its a 30 minute surgery for my vet if its a new fracture. your vet should have told you to go to the specialist right away. casting does not help this because its a joint fracture.
I'd definately go to a different orthopedic surgeon. SOmething needs to be done for your pup. it cannot just be left alone. i cant' believe these two vets.....
