I'm new to this so bear with me. I've got a yourkie with a broken leg. It might be healing and it might not. The vet I'm going to put the first splint on to tight and sylvester (my yourkie) went that way for a week. when I went back today (we are on his 4th splint because they keep changing it) I was told he needs to get out of the splint or his leg is going to rot (one of his pads fell off when they took the splint off). Then she tells me it just might be healing and if it is we will stay with the splint. They told me in the begining it may need to be plated. I've told them I can not pay for this all at once. they told me nobody will take payments. Now they seem to be pushing for amutation since I can't pay the 1500.00 for plating all at once. Should I find a new vet? Or get the referral to the orthopedic vet and see what he says?
