You poor thing. That's every Yorkie owner's nightmare. It sounds like you're doing everything you possibly could. Good for you for getting her tended to immediately. Try not to worry. Vets are doing remarkable things these days.

I have no experience with breaks, but my 4-pound rescue had surgery to repair his cranial cruciate ligament. That's what holds the knee together, and his leg was literally hanging before the surgery. It is now held together with two wires. I can honestly say that he was 90 percent perfect within a month of getting his cast off. Four months later, you would never know he injured it.

These guys are so feisty that the hardest thing you'll have to do is keep her from moving too much. If round-the-clock care is possible for the first few days, consider it. If not, a crate or anything to keep her from moving too much. Your vet will know best.

Good luck, and keep your chin up. These guys are incredibly resilient.
