NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH
Sometimes i have to take a break from the wildlife work to assist injured domesticated animals. 2 interesting surgeries.
The first was a 5 year old rotweiler with a severe infection in her uterus refered to as a pyometra, If dogs are not spayed by 5 to 6 years old chances of this happening are high especially if they have had puppies, Infection gets into the uterus and it becomes a bag full of puss. Its fatal if not treated in time.
This next broken femur was from a Russian wolf hound. they had been playing when owner fell on puppy and broke its leg, The problem is that is was a circular fracture of the bone kind of like when a chicken bone splinters, The splinter went all the what to the bottom of the bone making the surgery extremely difficult. Atfter much manipulation I managed to put it together. 4 1/2 hours of surgery
