Today is the first birthday of my Border Collie, Lydia.
Sadly, while she was outside playing with my sister's pony, he landed on one of her back legs.
She did not whine or whimper or anything once she got inside (when she was outside she yelped when it first happened). But when we took her to the vet, we found out that she has Compound Calcaneus Fracture in four places.
Sadly, there are three options as to what we can do for her. Pay $3,000 for a surgery that might not work, amputate her leg, or put her down. Seeing as she is still young and has a lot of life left to her, my sisters, mother and I want to just amputate the leg (as we cannot afford the surgery, nor is it guaranteed), however, my father claims that if we amputate her leg that her "quality of life" would be poor. That being said, I'm sure you can tell that he just wants to put her down.
Anyways. I am looking for a spread that can help with this situation. Answering questions such as if she is okay (she's at the vet right now....), what she wants, what would happen if we just amputated the leg.... Those sorts of questions.
Thank you so, so much. It means a lot to me. Thank you.
ps. Just so you can see her, this is a picture of her. She is so adorable. Look at her eyes.
