Baby
was out running in the woods and went missing.
When she came back she was limping badly and so her owner brought her in to
see us. She had a small wound at the front of her shoulder and was in severe
pain and in shock. After stabilising her, we made a radiograph of the shoulder
and examined the wound. The tip of a foreign body was just visible
This is what it turned out to be:
It was a 12cm long stick!!!!
We
removed the stick, flushed the wound copiously and inserted a drain and treated
her with antibiotics and painkillers. She is now back to her old self.
