My daughter's dog was hit by a car last night [View all]

[tavernier]

and has a broken femur. The emergency vet said that he could keep him over weekend and do surgery on Monday. 9,000$. I haven’t had animals in years but this sounds like a very steep price. It’s a tiny Yorkie mix, 5 pounds.
She decided to take him home and see her own vet on Monday. She said he doesn’t act like he’s in pain but she couldn’t stand leaving him for the weekend.
Any advice?

Update:
She just talk to her regular vet who was able to see a copy of the x-rays. He said:
No surgery. He hesitates to amputate a leg on a puppy. He said the X-rays were crappy but he thinks it will heal ok on it’s own if we keep him confined to the crate for 6 weeks.

Sounds like much better news!
