		 What vet did you take her to?  First of all, she needs the leg x-rayed to see how bad the damage is.  It may be something that can be repaired with surgery.  My vet had a wonderful orthopedic doctor that did Charles' surgery with great results.  Secondly, if she has been living with a badly healed leg for this long, it doesn't seem like it is something that must be done pronto.  Do a little more exploration first before you decide what to do. 
 
Dogs do do well with amputation, so that is a last ditch option that is possible.
