I'm sorry about your baby's accident and pending surgery. I have a friend, her 3 1/2 lb girl broke her leg coming off of steps. This girl did require surgery w/pins. She had to be crated during her recovery bc after the surgery she felt good and thought she could run around as usual.
You can apply for Care Credit, that's one option for payment. Borrow the money from family, friends, a bank...where ever you can get it. If your vet recommends surgery, have it done....don't try to just let it heal in the splint. Always do what is best for your dog!
Good luck....poor baby!
