    Oh wow! That sounds just horrible. I too can't imagine going for the alternative.. there has to be something that can be done.

    Get a second [or third] opinion!!

    My RB Pepper was lame in her back leg when we adopted her.. one vet had told another prospective family that it needed to be amputated!! We went with our own vet's opinion, and believe it or not.. she lived 8 more happy years with it.

    I hope she is okay. It's heartbreaking to see your dogs in pain. We send PT prayers!

    Ouch...... poor Roxy. That's the thing with those tiny puppies/dogs, any sort of jumping, and something most likely will break.
    It's probably a greenstick fracture (small cracks within the bone). This is the most common fracture in puppies. Hope she gets well soon.
