i just really would rather go to someone better than banfield if possible and i do think that 200 starting costs might be a bit outrageous compared to the other, better and more experienced vets in the area. we'll see. |
Oh poor little thing, I think if it was a fracture, the pain would be unbearable, and she probably wouldn't be eating. This is just a guess, because I know so little about this, I just know that breaks usually cause severe pain. Hopefully, you get an answer from someone who knows more. If she's eating it sounds like you could wait until you find another vet that you have more confidence in.
I just read Ladymom's reply, and I would listen to her advice.
