A puppy was brought in with a VERY badly fractured right front leg. There was no choice but to amputate. Broken bones were sticking out every which way, it was heartbreaking to see. Luckily, all went well, and as the staff at Animal Aid have proved, being a 3 legged (or even 2 legged!!) dog doesn't mean you have to slow down. There are so many resident amputees at the hospital, it's really quite inspiring to see how they all get around and play like normal.
Here, we are weighing the puppy before surgery, to determine anesthesia and medication is tricky...they have just a small step on scale that's rather, um,
temperamental. I think back to the hydraulic lift scales at
Westside, and the digital scale at Lancaster...and I wish I could bring Animal Aid every kind of helpful thing there is...and that includes a new scale!
Yes, those are bones.
