In an instant, a playful puppy found herself needing advanced orthopedic surgery.

Holly, an energetic young pit bull puppy jumped from the window of her family's moving vehicle! At first glance she appeared to have escaped the ordeal with mostly just scrapes and bruises, but upon closer inspection her parents noticed she had lost the ability to bear weight on her right hind leg. Her family acted quickly and rushed her to their trusted primary care veterinarian.

After radiographs revealed a serious fracture of the femoral head growth plate (known as a capital physeal fracture), Holly's veterinarian recognized something important: this injury did not necessarily mean losing the hip joint. Drawing on previous experience, they knew Holly had an opportunity for a much better long-term outcome through specialized orthopedic repair.

Holly was referred to SOVSC the very next day.

Following a comprehensive examination and pre-anesthetic testing, our surgical team confirmed that Holly was otherwise healthy and an excellent candidate for repair. During surgery, Dr. Fugazzi carefully realigned the fractured hip and stabilized it with orthopedic pins, preserving her natural hip joint and restoring normal anatomy.

The results were exactly what everyone hoped for. Post-operative radiographs showed excellent alignment and stabilization, Holly recovered smoothly from anesthesia, and she was already placing weight on the leg before heading home the very same day. Today, Holly is using her leg well and is on her way back to being the playful puppy she was meant to be.

Cases like Holly's highlight the value of strong partnerships between family veterinarians and specialty hospitals. Her primary veterinarian recognized both the severity of the injury and the opportunity for advanced repair, helping ensure Holly received the specialized care needed to maximize her long-term comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

Great teamwork. Great medicine. And one very lucky puppy.

The Best Reminder of Why We Do What We Do

The responsibility of caring for your pets is something our team takes deeply to heart. It's a calling that brings immense joy, but it also carries a heavy emotional weight.

That's why seeing and hearing your appreciation means more than we can properly express.

When a client takes the time to write a beautiful note or leave a meaningful review, it's not just a compliment, it's a lifeline for our staff. It turns a challenging shift into a deeply rewarding one and reminds everyone here that their hard work and compassion are truly making a difference.

Thank you to everyone who has shared kind words.
Thank you for caring for our team the way we care for your pets.
We see you, we read every word, and we are so incredibly grateful.

We are very touched by this deeply emotional tribute and expression of appreciation for our entire team. Timber was a well known boy and while he is dearly missed, we want to celebrate the power of the human-animal bond placed so clearly in focus. All of us at SOVSC commit 100% of our effort to support the lives of all of our patients. Sadly, we know all too well that the time we have with our furry friends is all too short. Celebrate every moment, every trip, every quiet snuggle while you have them in your life and then let those memories fill your heart for all the time that follows them. Peace be with you Craig and Timber.
