She has time. I have seen pups repaired days later. Of course, I don't know what kind of fracture this is; but it should be ok. The thing is, the poor thing is probably in pain so I would want her seen and fixed asap if she were mine.
Dr. Beale is wonderful....he will understand if she cannot afford it...and he can suggest ideas I am sure. And, at least she will know exactly what fix is needed! That is SO important. There are vets out there who will short cut and the end result is not good. There are some who can do the same procedures for less...but at least if she goes to Dr. Beale, then she would be comparing apples to apples.
I have had two pups come to me after people wasted their money with vets who did the wrong treatment and they still were repairable. It took more money and more extensive treatments (bone grafting), but it was fixed. Of course, the longer it does on the more of a chance that it might not work. We had one of those a couple of years ago...very sad.
