💗 SHABANI 💗
Shabani after a hit and run driver left her with a shattered hind leg our vets performed surgery for nearly 4 hrs to save her leg.
We went back for second X-rays to find out how the leg was healing.
Surgery was a success, Shabani will not lose her leg. Screws, surgical wire and metal plates have held the bones in place however a small piece of bone (it will be absorbed) is floating leaving a tiny gap where 2 of the shattered pieces will need time to grow together and heal.
We will continue Shabani on calcium supplements & will go back in a months time for more X-rays.
When the bones are in place/joined and strong again Shabani may need the top plate taking out due to the need for it to be very close to the hip joint, one step at a time but Shabani is not in pain and is a happy little girl who loves company and a cuddle. She is playing with Bugsy, Pip and Ezra daily and her favourite sleep spot is a chair and big blanket so she can also jump up with no problems at all.
Three cheers for Shabani for being such a wonderful girl even after all she has been through 💗
