Totally agree. An orthopedic specialist can give you your answer on if it's the way to go.
Hey, we ALL have had our moments. Shoot, I was keeping my niece's baby chihuahua when she was in the hospital and I dropped the poor guy on his head on a ceramic tile floor. Scared the crapola out of me! Even parents to human children have things happen. You know why? Because we are human. We would like to have total control and keep accidents from ever happening, but alas..we cannot. *sigh*
Don't beat yourself up. You are obviously a loving mommy to Reese. You did the exactly right thing to do and got him to the ER vet asap. Way to go!! Remember this...all you can do is what you can do. And you did that.
Now, consult with a specialist and you will have peace of mind on whether or not you need to get him surgery or not.
Also, it is going to be really hard to keep a 4 month old yorkie "still" on a broken leg. There is a member that just had to do this for quite a while and she could help with tips if you need her to, I am sure. I will PM her the link to this thread so she will see it
