We recently took our 5 month old boxer Phoebe to Dr. C because she had been hit by a car and her femur was broken. We weren't sure she was going to survive, let alone walk again. We took her to them, they were open on Sunday, which was totally great. They kept her for a few days until we could decide what to do for her. Dr. C said he would be able to operate on her leg and we went ahead with the surgery. They kept her for a few weeks after her surgery, to ensure the best possible outcome for recovery. We were super happy about it because we have a two boys at home (a 2yr and a 4yr old) that would be hard to explain to them why they can't play with her and why she can't get out of her crate.
Phoebe was released to us just before Christmas and she is doing great. Her leg is healing and a pin was placed in her leg to stabilize it. In a couple more weeks she will have the pin removed and then she will be on the road back to normal. So far she is doing great at home. She still needs to be confined, but she is putting weight on her leg and she is antsy to move around and play.
We know she will make a full recovery and for that we are truly indebted to Dr. C, Dr. Beckus and Dr. Mizrahi (I'm hoping I spelled their names correctly) and the entire staff at Park Animal Hospital. They know what they are doing and they care about animals.
Thank you!!
