8/13/26
- short oblique fracture with minimal displacement of left diaphyseal humerus
- radioopaque tranquilizer dart in the right humerus dorsal to the fracture
recommend radiologist consultation on all images
recommend surgical consultation for surgical repair vs. splint

chose opioids instead of carprofen due to lactating puppies. opioids can transfer into the milk but less risk to development issues with puppies. can cause drowsiness in puppies. also puppies are able to transition to canned food so should be nursing less

๐Ÿท This pet can only be tagged by a RESCUE group but please remember all rescues need ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฆ in order to tag this pet and save their life. This pet cannot be fostered or adopted through the shelter, so please message the page if you can help!

๐Ÿ’ฐ Pledges will help attract a rescue. Rescues cannot intake animals without fosters.

๐Ÿ“ŒPlease contact BARC if you are LOCAL & can help! They cannot assist out of state foster or adoption offers. We are NOT the shelter.

8/3/2026: Clara greets me at the kennel door with a fast wagging tail and tippy tap paws. She lets me leash her and walks loosely to and from the potty yard. Inside her kennel she can be seen relaxing quietly on her blanket or standing by the kennel door when she hears someone approaching.

8/4/2026: Carlton was a move adopt this morning. He was leashed easily and walked loosely with a neutral body.

8/10/2026: Lying on his bed but stood when approached. Walked with loose leash, tappy toes and prancy walk like a horse, tail swaying while he walked.
