See the fracture? This was the small broken talus (ankle joint bone) we fixed today on “Doc”, a hunting dog. Hard to see, and tough to fix since it needs to be repaired perfectly for good joint function. A tiny pin placed where it won’t interfere with weight bearing does the trick!

Sometimes a classic and simple surgical technique is the best option. We repaired this femur fracture in a 8 week old, 1 pound kitten yesterday. Since we now have more advanced techniques for fracture repair, many new surgeons do not know about using a figure 8 wire to stabilize a tiny bone. The late Dr. Larry Wallace taught me this trick, and I am grateful to have it in my surgical arsenal for tiny bones with little space for implants. In a patient this young, the bone will heal in 2 weeks.

Molly is 24 hours out from having both knees stabilized (TPLO repair with locking plates) after tearing her ACLs. Both knees also had a torn meniscus.

Her parents sent us this photo today. She's up and walking already! She is wearing Lick Sleeves to cover the incisions rather than needing a cone. And what a beautiful backdrop she has. Happy Holidays from Molly and CLVS!

Pancreatic cancer sucks. Even in dogs. Average lifespan is just a single day after diagnosis. But Asher had a large tumor removed from his pancreas about a month ago, requiring removal of some of his intestine as well. While he still gets tired, he’s back to being playful and feeling so much better!
