Oh, Im so sorry to hear about little Hope. Maybe this will make you feel better. Our Gracie jumped from husband's lap two weeks ago and broke her left hind leg. We were a wreck as well, and the emergency clinic talked about surgery too, but so far she's only had a splint and will be x-rayed again next Friday to see how well she's healing. Our regular vet thinks she'll heal just fine without surgery. If the bones have healed by next Friday, she should be able to stay out of the splint and get back to normal activity. It's been challenging, and she wasn't herself for about 4 or 5 days, but now she doesn't even seem to know she has a splint. She's running around (FAST) on three legs.

I truly know how upset you were, but she will probably be just fine. How old is she? My vet said that Gracie will probably heal quickly because she is so young (5 months now).

Gracie, John, and I are sending lots of prayers and hugs your way.
