My name is Punkie and I’m 3 ½ years young. I broke my central tarsal bone (ankle) winning my last race on Dec. 23, 2006. They put a splint on it at the track. It was taken off a few weeks later and found to be swollen and bright pink. My lymph nodes are swollen and I got a nasty infection from the splint. The Veterinary Specialty Center said that my break is on a non-weight bearing part of my tarsus and I’m beginning to heal. My splint will be put back on the leg after the infection is all gone. If it still bothers me, orthopedic surgery could be in my future. I’m a brave little angel and want the life that I’ve only dreamed about.
Stay tuned as my progress will be updated.
The medical costs for broken leg dogs are steep. Our expenses include veterinary specialists and costly pain meds. Nothing about a broken leg greyhound is routine. Medical bills start at $2,500 and upwards. Can you help?
