Tell me you’re used to not having enough hands without telling me

I had the pleasure of speaking at Baxter Academy for Technology and Science. We talked about all aspects of veterinary orthopedic surgery and after only 2 hours of lecture, these guys were able to repair some radius fractures. Thanks to the school for welcoming me and Movora for donating the implants and sawbones.

An amazing organization! Thanks for all of the work that you do.

Meet Loki, a 10 week old kitten that sustained a left mandibular fracture (see the red lines on the 3D reconstruction CT). Since he is still growing and his jaw is so tiny, bone plates would not be the ideal repair as it might be in a larger/ older animal.
Loki had a modified labial button technique performed to help stabilize the jaw while the bone heals. It’s essentially a way to ‘wire’ the jaw but allowing for him to eat through the small opening in the mouth. Helpfully he’ll heal in 3-4 weeks and the buttons and suture can be removed.
No- his name is not getting changed to Buttons.

Meet Meyer, a 1 1/2 year old Sphynx, and his dad Dana. Meyer came to us 3 months ago for a severe ear infection that had migrated into his brain causing a life threatening abscess (yellow arrow in CT image). He had a CT scan and surgery to remove the entire ear canal as well as open the middle ear to get rid of as much infection as possible. This surgery is called a total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy. He just came back for a recheck CT scan and the infection is completely resolved. He is feeling great (despite being a little camera shy) and will need a few more weeks of antibiotics. Thank you Dana for trusting us with your baby and for taking such good care of him in the postoperative period.

Check out our new friend Harriet who was brought in by the amazing people at Darrowby Farm Sanctuary. She was the sweetest 🐷 and was an absolutely wonderful guest. Next time you want to donate to an amazing cause, think of helping out some farm animals that are lucky enough to retire with Amanda and her staff.
