My beautiful little girl Sophie is only 4 and a half months old and has already been through so much in her short life. 

I rescued Soph when she was just 4 weeks and 6 days old. She had veen separated from her mother since she was 2 weeks old and was fed only weetbix and cows milk. Her tiny little tail was bent/broken in 2 places and i couldnt leave here in the environment she was in any longer... So i rescued her!

Fast forward 3 and a half months and she has grown into the most placid, loving, cutest little pea ever! I put her outside while i went to the shops on Wednesday and she was fine. When i returned 2 and a half hours later she was limping and visibly in pain... 

I got her in to the vet Thursday morning and $791 later they tell me she has 2 breaks and a fracture... An injury consistent with being kicked or hit with something hard and that she requires surgery to fix it as soon as possible. 

So i book in with the specialist vet and he tells me that there is no point doing the surgery as she is still growing and the surgery will only help for a few months and that my options are to amputate or put her down... 

Putting her down is not an optiin for me. She has quickly become my best friend... and although it annoys me on occasion, shes my shadow, even when i need to pee... it me and her agaisnt the world. But is amputation the best choice for her? What happens? How does she walk? How long does she take to heal? Is her image going to affect me? Is it going to change her? Will she be depressed? Do they wrap or cover the wound? How long til she will walk again? Im so lost. Shes booked in to have the surgery on monday at 9am... im just a bit sad and lost...
