On a Wednesday Milly found herself at the mercy of a vehicle. It was hoped that she would recover without medical intervention, but when Friday arrived the decision was made to get Milly to the clinic, she wasn’t using her right leg and was choosing not to move around much at all. Thankfully our friends at Canine Action Project got her to Park Range Veterinary Services where it was discovered that her hind right tibia was fractured. She was stabilized while we looked for a foster and brought to the WCVM Small Animal Clinic so she could be observed and monitored until her surgery. The team working with her reported that she was a very good patient, sweet with everyone, eating her meals, and eager to go for walks as her pain was controlled. She was also taken for further x-rays and a CT Scan that confirmed she did have some damage around her lungs and a fracture at the sacroiliac joint that was causing luxation. On Wednesday, April 2nd, Milly underwent a 6 hour surgery to repair both fractures. It was reported that she is a young, healthy dog, so her body was already creating new calcification near the tibial fracture that made it difficult for a ‘perfect’ repair, but it was a good repair all the same. Milly is not resting and recuperating in her foster home, it is expected that she will start some rehabilitation work in a week or two to help her through the healing process. She will need 6-8 weeks to heal before she can be adopted.
