Catch Up With Life
Been a while since we’ve written anything-normal unless there’s ‘BIG’ events in your life, which can be good or bad, thankfully nothing too momentous has occurred.
One thing that did happen about 3 weeks ago is that while everyone was at school or work, Koa our 9 month Lab/Staffordshire Terrier cross went for a wander to the local dog park on her own: unfortunately she needed to cross a busy road to get there and was hit by a car. The lady that hit her was lovely and called me immediately and took Koa to our vet (which is 500m from our house) and Koa received great car-she almost died due to her injuries which were:
- 4 broken ribs;
- contusions to her liver with internal bleeding;
- contusions to her lung;
- some minor grazes; and
- 4 or so displaced fractures to her pelvis.
We took her the day after the accident to a specialist vet centre (http://www.vetspecialist.com.au/) where she was operated on to repair the pelvic fracture, ended up with a plate and 4 screws inserted into her pelvis.
Now 3 weeks later, she is walking and seems to feel very well-however, she needs to be restricted for another 2-3 weeks to ensure that the fracture heals correctly.
