Two Hip Surgeries and Physiotherapy for Clayton
Clayton is a sweet puppy who came to us as a stray. At just three months old, he had two fractured hips and a fractured tibia - major injuries, especially for a growing pup.
He required Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgeries on both hips to restore pain-free mobility to the damaged hips by removing the head and neck of the femur. Unfortunately, because he also had a fractured tibia, we were unable to proceed with the repair to his left hip until the tibia fracture healed.
After three months, Clayton's tibia has now healed and he has undergone both FHO surgeries. However, he is experiencing some issues with post-operative healing and needs physiotherapy to promote healthy recovery.
Between his two surgeries and 6-8 weeks of physiotherapy, Clayton's medical expenses are significant. Can you help him get the care he needs to be a carefree puppy?
