Where do you live Swank? If you were in Sydney I would suggest you go and see a good vet like Rob Zammit and get a good opinion on it. If its been broken alot of times and has lost alot of feeling it could be a problem. However I do not think you would have an issue having it amputated if it is in the best interests of the dog, after all that is the law !
