So this morning, Piper and I went to the vet and had her leg x - rayed. Sure enough.... it is broken!
The vet gave me my three options...
- {option 1} Take her to a specialist and have surgery. This would involve a pin or wire through the bones, to put them back together and her leg would be perfect again. This will cost us around $2,000.00..... oUcH!
- {option 2} Do nothing and let it heal on its own. Take the risk of her having a gimp forever and walking like she is handicap?!
- {option 3} Just hope that it heals and no one will ever know that she broke her leg and her lame owners didn't fix it!

By the way I love the picture above of your kids laughing. And So sad about Piper's leg...i guess that's the ONLY downfall of those cute small dogs...
When you said she'd need a surgery to pin the bones back together it made me think of spencer's arm surgery when he was 3. Hopefully her leg heals okay!
nooo! that is so sad! Luckily that never happened to bear, he hasn't broke any bones..yet. But I guess she is a little tinier than him! poor baby!
Can't blame you. Those little dogs are more resilient than we think. I'm sure nature will take it's course and she will be fine! Maybe one of my kids should be a vet, for that kind of money.
