Wouldn't say that.
Every bit the 'useless' partner didn't do, the owner didn't do either.
So...

Did you miss this post?
Other than maybe not sorting out the insurance, I wouldn't say they are irresponsible.
Seriously go to a pdsa hospital and if you feel bad for not paying extortionate amounts drop them a couple 100 £ donation on the way out.
The worst noise I have ever heard is the sound of a dogs scream. It makes me feel so bad.
Slamming the door on the dog though... Could you trust them with anything else? I know I couldn't.

I am judging her partner based on what she has said, and he sounds like a lazy, careless person.
I would agree with this.
not really wanting to get involved on ****ging your partner off but he really should be taking more care around a puppy.
as you said yourself you asked him to sort out the insurance and he hasnt.. hes been asked to walk the puppy yet he hasnt.. has this been a regular thing just putting him/her out in the garden rather than walking the pup? just sadly on this occasion the pup has been hurt?
how old is the pup? have you not had the pup at the vets for a check up before and took out a puppy plan? I know this was the first thing we did when we got our pup..
I shut the shed door on my German Shepherd and it broke the shed door!
He was a rather large pup though....
OP, payment plan should be doable - vets realise this sort of unexpected expense happens - invest in insurance also,you could have problems with the leg as the dog grows.
Oh and make him pay!

In the situation that the partner does come across as unreliable, it's understand to be judgemental.
I do feel though that certain posts are being very harsh on the OP.
Hope everything works out in your favour OP.
Don't mean to judge, only you know best but 'shut the door hard' without checking the pup was fully outside is asking for trouble. Bin him or find the dogs a new owner if he's irresponsible enough to cause [potentially] long lasting damage to the dog that'll cost a fortune(without insurance).
The bills mentioned above make my eyes water, glad I pay the premium for insurance for my 2.

1) it's your puppy, you should have got the insurance don't blame someone else
2) as you refer to it as your (my) puppy not our, did your partner have a say in getting one? Does your partner even want to look after it?
3) see 1
4) when you get a pet, things happen, the puppy could have easily hurt itself doing something else so see 1
4) consider a free/donation pet treatment centre
Wow. I love animals but even if insurance was paying that kind of money I would probably just put the poor animal to sleep. I've never been in that position so don't know for sure but that is my gut feeling.
Anyway sorry to hear about your puppy OP.
What? You'd put an animal to sleep even if you didn't have to pay the bill?
