On Friday she is heading off to Gurnee AH for boarding and we will have the Vet look at her films and decide if he can attempt a repair.

I will also get a second opinion if I need to. If it can not be repaired- sadly the leg will need to be amputated as the pain would just be too great for her. I CRINGE any time she puts weigh on that leg.

I just got back from picking Phyllis up from All Creatures Vet Clinic in Downers Grove, IL. To say her X-rays are unbelievable is a huge understatement. Her femur (thigh bone) is broken/shattered into 4 pieces- one of which is about 3 inches long and split in half.
The broken bones literally line up in a Z shape. I am heart-sick at how much pain this dog is in and how much she must have suffered until now. This injury is at least a few months old too.
