Femoral Fractures in a Puppy


I am surprised I was able to photograph these radiographs with my digital camera.

This is from a Great Pyrenes puppy, about 35 lbs., that came in today. She got hit by a car on Saturday. She has 2 femoral fractures on her left side, and 1 on her right.

She really needs to go see an orthopedic surgeon to see if there is anything they can do or suggest to fix this. A splint just isn't going to cut it, I'm afraid.

you can click on the photo and it will enlarge a bit, or there is a larger version at flickr (click here)
