Healing doesn't always happen the way you'd expect.
When Buckeye came to MedVet Dayton with a wound on his elbow that wouldn't heal, our Surgery team took an innovative approach. To help encourage healthy tissue growth, they used sterilized fish skin beneath his bandages as part of his treatment.
Recovery took time, but Buckeye's family was with him every step of the way. From months of bandage changes to keeping him comfortable in his collection of custom front-leg "pants," their dedication played a huge role in his success.
Today, Buckeye's wound has fully healed, leaving behind only a small scar and a remarkable story of teamwork, patience, and perseverance. 💙
