There are times when such an injury will cause an animal to suffer, and times when it won't. Same for people.
We have a cat that was born 2003. Was just weeks old when she had a rear leg shattered. Took her to the vet, but simply didn't have that kind of money.
We were in the process of moving here and there was barely time to take a breath for ourselves. So, wife wrapped up the little thing and we kept it in a carrier. Within a week, seemed she was doing much better. The vet had told us the cat would never walk, and showed us an X-ray of the shattered bones, but apparently they did not show the X-ray to the cat!
She's old now and rarely climbs trees, but we've had a long-standing joke (between wife and I) about how sad it is she can't climb trees......while she's looking down on us from the top of one.
Also, I had a total dislocation of my right ankle in high school. Was told I'd never run again, would never again be in fire dept, might not even walk normally again. After high school, I went on to enter USAF, in Fire Protection, and worked my butt off after that. Never slowed down until a neck injury did me in. I'd sure hate to think I coulda missed out on all my travels and adventures because someone else thought my life would turn out not-so-good.
Young bodies are capable of AMAZING things!! I've never been one to let an animal suffer, but simply having a broken bone isn't gonna convince me to take its life, even if the bone is shattered. Gotta admit though, that cat of ours has amazed even me!
