It does make sense that Pixie should be improving each week and it is definitely true I'd feel awful if there was an adverse effect if I waited the 4-6 months my vet is saying may be necessary for full healing (he says anywhere from 2 - 6). I could go to another vet for assessment and have her leg X-rayed.
Do you think a cast would help her leg to heal? (She keeps standing on her hind legs as she's so short and I can't figure out how to stop it, tho she is doing it less often.)
