!Fun Case Friday!

Meet Ralphie, a 7 month old Corgi pup who had an unfortunate encounter with a vehicle. Ralphie presented on an emergent basis, and was unwilling to stand or use his back end. Dr. Gibbs promptly triaged Ralphie, and determined via radiographs that Ralphie had a broken right rear tibia (one of the bones of his lower hind limb). The remainder of Ralphie's physical exam did not reveal any further injuries. Ralphie was hospitalized and proper pain management was initiated while he awaited surgery to plate his limb fracture the next day with Dr. Joe Adrian from Driftless Surgical. Dr. Adrian is a traveling surgeon who performs soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries right here in our clinic! Ralphie did great for surgery, and was a happy boy that greeting his momma in our lobby on all four limbs following surgery!
Take a peak at the last video to see an excited Ralphie exiting the clinic! Happy healing Ralphie!
