Sadly, we have had members who waited too long with broken legs that did not heal and that window of healing was missed. At that point, amputation was the only option.

Is it possible for your vet to send the xrays to the vet school for a consultaion? It's very easy to send digital xrays.
OMG!! That scares me to death!! I will call him tomorrow and tell him to send them to the surgeon.

Thank you
