Stillwater, OK (KFOR/KAUT)– A hound puppy that had a rough beginning to life is now getting the therapy he requires thanks to vets at Oklahoma State University.
When he was given up to a pet rescue organization, Milo was just 5-weeks-old. Vets understood something needed to be done when they discovered that Milo’s front paws were shaken up.
“We assessed Milo with our advanced CT scanner and also identified his trouble to be congenital dislocation of both joints,” said Dr. Erik Clary, associate teacher of small pet surgery. “With both arm joints out of joint, Milo was unable to stroll. Attempt as he might, the very best he could do was a seemingly uneasy and ineffective ‘army crawl.'”
Clary said Milo’s problem is really rare as well as very incapacitating.
Milo underwent rehabilitative surgical procedure earlier this month at Oklahoma State University’s Veterinary Medical Hospital.
“Milo’s surgical treatment was made complex,” stated Clary. “For each of his joints, we needed to go into the joint and also restore the positioning. We positioned a pin across the joint to keep it directly while his growing bones continue to take shape and also his body lays down the interior scar tissue that will certainly be required for long-lasting stability. All in all, Milo was under anesthetic for concerning 3 to 3 1/2 hrs.”
For now, Milo is in a front body splint to stop him from utilizing his front legs. In around 3 weeks, vets will eliminate the split as well as take out pins from Milo’s legs. After that, he will certainly start intensive recovery treatment. Related Content
