Ortho Surgeon looked at it and she has a avulsion fracture, they said it was still close to the bone and he thinks she will heal and wants to re xray next week but after reading this I am thinking surgery is my only option. Im so scared and fell like a horrible momma. Shes not in any pain just will not bear weight on her foot.

I am asking the mods to move this so you have your own thread and will get more feedback!

If your puppy needs surgery, best to get it scheduled. If she is not bearing weight, it is painful.
