Our 5 month old Great Pyrenees (male, 25 lbs) was hit by a car Friday. Took him to our vet, who said he had a broken leg and hip. He put our dog in a leg splint and referred us to a surgeon.
The surgeon said he couldn’t fit us in his schedule in time. We are now exploring other options and waiting to hear back from who other surgeons.
I don’t have the option to add a photo of x ray.

I want to know that if a pin and plate was needed, how long can you wait before surgery? I know puppy bones heal quickly and I don’t want it to heal wrong. Is scheduling a surgery next week too long? Any advice welcome

Hi. I just bought a 21 blazer 19 days ago. My first purchase, first insurance, all the above.
I was rear ended today in a school pick up line. Got out and noticed marks on my bumper paint. Man (Walter) immediately says “sorry. Foot slipped off the brake. That will all come out with a car wash.” I say “it’s not wiping off. Paint is chipped.”
I take a pic of his ID, and the insurance card. Names don’t match. He says he just sold the truck to his nephew bc he got cancer and got laid off.
I say okay and pull to the side to call police. He tries to talk me out of. He says “this is a could hundred worth of damage. I will pay everything, let’s not go through insurance.” I say okay and think about.
I call police. He’s annoyed.
Cop comes and he says “I’ll get it fixed June 1st when my social security hits”

Cop asks if I agree. I say yes, but want to make sure all of this is documented. Cop gets his tag #. I have his license and insurance. He gets in the truck to leave.
I ask cop if he is sure I’m making a good decision and that this will be documented. He says yes. I have everything to resend here he promises to pay. If anything happens, you call me. I say okay and leave.

I get home and realize not only is it chopped bumper paint, but my back trunk/hatch is slightly bent right above his hit. I call the man who hit me and he meets me to look himself. He says “I couldn’t have caused that.” I double down. Yes you did.

He still says he will pay everything. I am going to get a few quotes tomorrow.

Should I say screw him, file report and go through insurance? I did nothing wrong. Also, don’t want to screw an old man and obviously he wasn’t insured to drive the truck.

Do I wait until 6/1? Help!
