Fendi is a delightful little Pomeranian with a big personality, weighing just 2.8 kg! Despite his tiny size, this brave little dog has been through an awful lot, and we’re delighted to share an update on his recovery.
Fendi was rushed to our Emergency and Critical Care (ECC) service after being attacked by a much larger dog. Sadly, he had sustained a significant number of serious injuries, including swelling in his brain, two fractured vertebrae in his neck, an open fracture and avulsion of his right scapula (shoulder blade), damage to the nerves beneath his right shoulder blade, and extensive skin wounds.
Fendi was in very safe hands with our dedicated ECC team, Tom, Rebecca and Nanette, who worked tirelessly to provide the expert care and close monitoring he needed. An MRI scan was performed to assess his neck injuries, and thankfully, it showed that there was no damage to his spinal cord. This was very encouraging news given the severity of his injuries.
Our surgeon, Christopher, then performed surgery to repair Fendi’s fractured scapula, alongside the treatment needed for his extensive skin wounds. Following surgery, Fendi remained in hospital for five days, receiving round-the-clock nursing care, pain management and careful wound monitoring. His nerve damage also meant he needed additional support and attention as he began his recovery.
Once he was well enough to continue his journey at home, Fendi’s rehabilitation became an important part of his treatment plan. With ongoing physiotherapy through our in-house rehabilitation service, he is making excellent progress, and we’re thrilled to see how far he has come!
Fendi’s recovery is a wonderful example of the teamwork, dedication and specialist care that go into helping our patients through some of their most challenging moments. A huge well done to Fendi for being such a brave little fighter, and a big thank you to Tom, Rebecca, Nanette, Christopher and everyone involved in his care. ❤️🐶
