"It's a bad injury... whether it's on a dog or on a person"... so said Dr. Koschmann. And when you have a bad injury, you end up with something like the image above. That's Rally's fixator, which leaves her hock joint frozen in a slightly hyper extended state, so as to not put strain on the recently reattached Achilles tendon. Yup, it's screwed right into the bone.That's a lot of stainless steel. Maybe when it comes out I can sell it for scrap and recoup some of our vet expenses.
Poor Rally, we all feel very sorry for you.

ReplyDeleteIt is proberly good that SHE is injured because a man would not survive it :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! *this* man would be soliciting any and all sympathy he could get, from any and all sources. ;-)
