Embers

Embers is just the sweetest dog and came from the pound terribly underweight and limping. She had burnt patches of fur, consistent with intentional injury. X rays revealed she has a crushed fracture of the ischiatic arch and the pelvis had been separated at the midline symphysis, and she also had a fracture of the right femoral head. She has been cage rested to heal the pelvic fracture for a couple of months at our vets and early December she had bilateral femoral head excision with a specialist surgeon to repair to top of the femur.

She has been such a good patient throughout these procedures, and she has won the hearts of the vet nursing staff. She is now having accuptuncture, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to improve has mobility and muscle strength.

She is an amazing dog and whilst she is currently not allowed to meet other dogs she is always friendly and wagging her tail at the fence. Embers has been through a lot of suffering and now that all the veterinary work has been completed, she is looking for a home where she can rest and be spoilt. She has a smooth coat and weighs about 15kg.
