Rupert's Recovery
Meet my boy, Rupert. He is totally obsessed with tennis balls.
The weekend before last (Sunday 3/11/19), his addiction literally sent him over the edge. He blindly chased a ball off a bank landing a couple of metres below onto the road. To be fair, and in his defence, I recall a similar moment of stupidity myself skiing. But that's another story.
Off to Animal A&E (nearby thankfully) where first x-rays were taken. The next day a specialist confirmed surgery would be needed.
Diagnosis - severe carpal injury
Treatment plan - Right pancarpal arthrodesis
Please help if you can towards surgery and follow-up care for Rupert.
Many thanks and see you at the park!
