Bit rough, at first look they thought they could actually fix it with a couple of screws, when the xrays were looked at again by another vet the probability of fixing the break was very low and also a lot of pain for the dog for quiet sometime IF the surgery was successful, for those who know the dog had actually brokenhis tarsal in 3 places at first they thought they were all clean breaks unfortunately they weren't otherwise he would have had surgery
