The neck is really strong and shouldn't have broken that easily. I will look into her good leg down the road since I'm really broke right now with all the expenses.

OUch I know those surgeries can be expensive, and then you have the rehab costs too.

It looks like a complete break at the femoral head. Did the vet diagnose an actual condition? You need to know this. Leggs Perthes is one and is rather easily ascertained.

Anyhow I'd love to hear how her rehab is going. It can be stressfull for you to go to all the appointments and the up and down of the healing process.

Sorry just realized I said femoral head - I meant to say femoral neck.
