Meet Rio, a beautiful white Golden Retriever who had a bit of an unexpected injury during her adventure chasing squirrels! Unfortunately, a collision with a fallen sign left her with a laceration on her front leg.
Her family brought her to EVC for care, where Dr. Zaid and his team treated her injury with 9 stitches. Rio recovered well from her procedure, and 10 days later, she returned to have her stitches removed. She made a full recovery and was ready for more adventures.
If your pet ever suffers a cut or laceration, it’s always best to have them assessed by a veterinarian, as some wounds may require professional cleaning and repair.
We’re so happy Rio is back to her happy, squirrel-chasing self! 🐕💨
