That is IF all the pup needed was a splint. That is a rarity in fractures in these pups. I have seen far too many end up with major issues because the owner did not have the money and some vet opted to help the owner and casted it to save money. It can work, but chances are very low.
And that is coming from another nurse. My nursing degree taught me ZIP about leg fractures in yorkies. What I know I have learned from experience and dealing with many fractured legs in yorkies not to mention a bunch of other conditions.
