[AlpacaTalk] Broken Leg

 

Hello to all.
I am looking for input from all sources. We have a 2 month old cria Female that broke her left back leg. She has a really bad spiral fracture thru the growth plates and it is also disclocated off the grown plates. Our vet is not sending her x-ray out to other vets for suggestions. He does not hold out a good outcome even if we try to plate the bones for healing. The next question is amputation. Do you know of any alpacas that have lost their back leg as such a you age and how is their life after?
Or the next hard question. Do we just put her down?
Any input is welcome as I am currently at a loss and my head is swimming.
Thanks
