Recently I had to cancel some regular appointments as my patient, Zoey, was brought in on emergency. Another dog had come onto the owner’s property and attacked Zoey right in front of her and the children.
This picture is of her hind leg just above the hock joint. The blue section is the piece of skin that needed to be removed as it was too badly damaged. The black line outlines the lateral saphenous vein. Zoey was very close to having a major problem. That is a rather important vein in the leg.
Zoey recovered well and has since had her sutures removed. My take home message is to make sure you have control of your pets at all times. It is not appropriate for your dogs to roam around the neighbourhood.
That's my baby...thank you so much for always taking such good care of her!!! She has healed wonderfully and is back to her old self again!
