It's a definite break, the x-rays show the bone has slipped to the side and
kind of on top of where it should be. We have to keep him calm otherwise the
bone may poke through. I, unfortunately, had a meeting at the same time as
the Vet visit, so oldest son took him. We weren't given anything to sedate
him tonight. The Vet was clear that a cast gives him 50/50 odds. She wasn't
pushing surgery, just making sure we understood.
