Last Monday in our local park while on her daily after work walk Luna fell on the ice and broke her right front leg. Although I was in panic mode, through a combination of limping on her part and carrying on mine we managed to make it back to the road. I was able to flag down a passing car and the wonderful good samaritan on seeing the damage to Luna drove us directly to the Orlean’s Veterinary Hospital. He was actually a friend of one of the vets and was able to call ahead to the hospital so that they were prepared for our arrival. The staff immediately noticed I was in distress and they took charge and got Luna under control. In no time Luna was stable and no linger in pain. I can’t thank everyone involved enough.
Luna was transferred to the AltaVista Animal Hospital for emergency surgery. There again the staff treated us like gold and we are extremely grateful. Luna came back home to us on Wednesday and has been convalescing ever since. Her appetite is good and she walks around the backyard without any apparent discomfort. We have are fingers crossed that everything proceeds as planned and Luna gets back to being the puppy she was.
Thanks everyone involved.
