The wound to one hind leg was extensively treated and saved,
but unfortunately, X-rays revealed that the fracture was so bad that he
required an amputation of the other hind leg.
Joey was not going to let having three legs slow him down
for long! He was on strong pain killers that did make him quite sleepy when his
owner visited the first day after the surgery, but by day two he was walking about
with his 3 legs confidently. He was back to himself again - enjoying his chin
tickles and tucking into his food.
Joey stayed in with us for a couple more days so he could
rest and have pain killers, but he was soon back at home and up to no good once
more:
“Joey's doing absolutely fine, back to his usual self and
desperate to get out and about which will be the next step. Not quite sure I'm
ready for that one though! Thanks again for everything and most importantly for
caring for Joey as if he were your own” (Joey’s owner).
We are all so pleased at the surgery with how well Joey is
doing. Every staff member who cared for Joey fell in love with him, so we
wanted to share his story to show that having three legs really isn’t so bad
after all! J
