Patient of the Month
March 2012
Marty
Bowen
Marty is a very brave and loveable little Miniature
Pinscher, recently adopted by the Bowen family.
She was hit by a car and roaming homeless around their
neighborhood. It took about ten days
before she would allow anyone to catch her.
When they were able to finally catch her, we found that she had
fractured her right ulna and radius. We
attempted to place a splint, but it did not appear to be healing after a few
weeks. Ultimately, we decided to
amputate her right front leg on February 15th. Surgery was a success and she was up and
walking her first day home!
Throughout the entire process, Marty has been nothing but
cooperative. Not once did she complain
or become difficult. It is impossible
not to fall in love with her.
Congratulations Marty on becoming our March Patient of the Month!!
Congratulations!
From The Entire Smith Veterinary
Hospital Team!
