Good news so far!
Talked with the ortho surgeon today and they wanted to put an external plate with pins into the bone on Libby's leg. I said to go ahead and do whatever they thought was best for her.
She has had her surgery and is in recovery right now. She has 4 pins and the plate. She will be able to weight bear right away, but restricted activity and lots of time in the crate for her coming up. Because she's so young, they are hoping to have the pins out and plate off in a month.
As for her jaw, they didn't have to re-break it and they decided to leave the adult molar in her gums. She had a couple puppy teeth removed and they will re-assess it in a couple weeks.
They are hoping she will be able to come home with me tomorrow.
Poor little thing. What an awful way to spend her 9 week old birthday.
Thank you to everyone for the encouraging words, e-mails, texts and phone calls. Anyone who knows me knows how much my dogs (and all dogs) mean to me.
