Years ago, my son's cat and my little Chihuahua were racing down stairs and the cat deliberately swiped at my baby and sent her tumbling down a flight of stairs....she broke her little front leg...we rushed her to a vet....they said it would heal on its own....and it certainly did just that...all deformed and crooked. As she grew, the bone did NOT heal all nice and straight and like it was supposed to....they should have at the very least, splinted that fracture....now, every case goes on its own merits, but this is why I respect specialists and really feel better when I get second opinions from the best, most qualified specialists available....especially when I find myself clueless and dependent entirely on what these people are telling me is the best recourse for my specific issue..... |
