I would be getting a second opinion FROM A SPECIALIST. It makes me real nervous when a vet tells me a leg is broken and is bad enough to require an open reduction (surgery)....the the leg turns around and starts healing and , "well....maybe surgery is not necessary....just yet...lets wait and see...". I would be questioning his initial diagnosis, then I would be questioning his second diagnosis/opinion, especially knowing that to "wait for a month and see how the leg is"....WHAT are you waiting for????? For the leg to heal crooked and then REQUIRE RE-FRACTURE so it can be set properly???? PLRASE!!!!
I would want a second opinion from someone who specializes in broken bones, an orethopedic specialist.
