Huhm....
My Penelope broke her leg in december 2007... very bad timing... dad just admitted to the hospital on christmas eve... it was a nightmare !!!!!
I just dropped her off at my vets, explained to him my personal situation and told him to treat her as if she was his own.... THANK LORD i have a great vet that i know for years... a good friend i can say ....
He decided that surgery in 3 days would be the best thing to do, and did... he had an specialist come in to his hospital and did it right there. She was home same day, easy care, we had to confine her to a crate, honestly i was in "automatic" pilot ... she is fine now, and she is our "ballerina" she dances on her back legs for minutes at a time... noboby can tell she has metal and screws in one of her back legs....
I am not sure if it will, but i hope this will give you some help.
I am not sure if i would have decided for surgery right away ... or would try a cast ...
But i am glad she the surgery right away ... healing was fast ... at least the dog was well....
XOXO
