Default My 8 Month Old Yorkie's Leg Got Broken And I Am Devestated

I had a little Christmas gathering at my home Saturday for one of my employees and her 11 year old son (after I have told him many times not to) picked up my Willow and she was scared and squirmed and he dropped her on the floor and she broke her right back leg . . . the femer and the tibia . . . both were clean breaks.

I am sick. I am angry. I have cried since it happened. I knew her leg was broken right away cuz I saw it . . . and I just scooped her up and literally ran out the door leaving my guests there and drove her the two miles to the emergency vet where they confirmed it.

My poor puppy has a big pink cast on her leg and they said that she has to go to the regular vet tommorrow and probably be scheduled for surgery and have a plate put in.

I am so devestated that I can't even think straight. I have been crying every time I look at her. I know I have to pull it together . . . and I know that it is just a dog . . . but she is just a little tiny thing and I just want her to be better.

Will she be okay again? Will they put a plate in? Will they put pins in? How long can I expect for her to heal? Can you please give me some much needed help as to how I can help her?

Thank you.
