I am worried about the surgery because how little he is. Like even getting his fixed was worrisome because of his weight. Right now, until monday, my poor baby is just doped up on pain meds with a splint in it and he cannot move. I feel so bad as it is my fault why he fell awkwards.  Also, if he does have to get surgery, what are payment options? I am a college student, so funds are not that great. We are hoping to just keep in him the splint possibly and let it heal that way. Has anyone ever done that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My little one Sadie broke her elbow when she was just a puppy weighing just over one pound. As an adult she weighs 2 3/4 pounds. she had to have surgery and they had to put in a pin. She did great, learned to run with the cast on, which was not a hard cast, it was just a cop-ban wrap. Today her leg is fine, she runs with the rest of them and never favors it.
Here is a picture of her in her cast.
