TANK
Tank, a little chi, had a bad day recently. He was snoozing under a blanket when the owner’s friend accidentally knelt on him. He was in great pain, and was taken to UF by his owner. They were told his hip had come out of socket. He was subsequently seen by a local vet who put the hip back in place under anesthesia. Unfortunately, the hip popped out again, and the two options given to the owner (who had gone through all of her funds from the first two procedures) were FHO surgery or amputation. CHAIN reached out to one of our wonderful partner vets, Dr. Amy Huff of Animal Clinic of Leesburg. We went with the FHO (Femoral Head Ostomy) option, and little Tank underwent the surgery. He is progressing, but will need therapy to fully recuperate. We will continue to assess his journey back to health.
