My 3-month-old Australian Shepherd has a shorter right front leg due to a dislocated shoulder joint and a chip fracture of the glenoid tubercle on the right scapula. The injury appears old and is not painful. Should I wait until growth ends to correct the issue, or have surgery before maturation?

My dog is vomiting clear liquid with a little bit of foam, has not eaten in three days, and was lethargic but has perked up. He has no diarrhea, no blood in vomit, and no odor.
