FEBRUARY 4TH 2019 UPDATE ON AGUSTIN
Dr Patricia Smichdt checking Agustin's general condition he's very sore and one of his back legs is very swollen and with minor cuts due to the crash.
Here is Sonia (CVFA-ARGENTINA board member), holding Agustin while the x-ray is developed.
|
Here's the x-ray; as you can see clearly the bones are completely broken, so the vet will operate on him tomorrow early in the afternoon. She'll put three nails that will cross the bones and put them back in place and then she'll put his leg in a cast. He'll stay at the hospital for two days. He'll also be neutered and then he'll have to stay almost immobilized for 45 days (just short walks to go to the bathroom). Agustin, is a very sweet and good doggie and he's become Ozzie's mate; they slept in the same area last night and Ozzie, as sweet as she is, licked his face as a welcome to the sanctuary. |
