The pup is a 2 months old Labrador male, he got fractured in the femur, we don't really know how, we just heard him crying and ran down to get him. The vet has already seen him, we x-rayed him, you can see the x-rays here: http://es.geocities.com/macrovivero/Duvel/xray1.JPG and here http://es.geocities.com/macrovivero/Duvel/xray2.JPG.
One of the vets says he will operate the dog to put a couple of pins in cross for the bone to heal properly, the second says the dog should be fine with a bandage, splint or cast.
My grandfather, an orthopedist doctor, has the same opinion of the second vet, but I want the dog to heal as fast as possible and with the least pain as possible. Currently the dog sometimes hurts himself when getting up, or pooping.
Please advice with expert opinions.
