Here at Fur Kids, we see a lot of great pet escapes gone wrong. Sadly, poor Kathryn has joined the ranks of a few before her.
Kathryn is a 1-year-old St. Bernard / Malamute who escaped her house and somehow broke her leg. (There is some speculation that she may be a tad boy crazy because she hasn’t been spayed yet, and tried to show off to some handsome fellas down the road.) She also had a pretty bad wound on her leg that was beginning to get infected. Kathryn’s dad reached out to Fur Kids Foundation because he was out of work and had limited funds. He knew that surgery to save the leg wasn't an option, but the vet told him that Kathryn would do just fine on three legs, so he chose to have the leg partially amputated. He's let us know that Kathryn is recovering well, and he hopes to be able to get her spayed soon. Broken legs in dogs are quite common. If you see any of the following signs or symptoms in your dog, be sure to take them to the vet right away:
