Little Bingo is feeling much better. He has been bearing
some weight on his right rear but not moving much.
X-ray revealed 2 fractures: one above his right hip and
another on a vertebra on the opposite side of his spine.
The vet says this is consistent with an animal being
kicked. She has seen it many times before.
Bingo will be confined to very strict cage rest for 6
weeks to see if these fractures will heal on their own.
He will be leash walked only and not allowed out of his
cage except to eat and relieve himself. If Bingo still
limps after 6 weeks, he will probably need an FHO on
his right hip. The vet says it is possible, but not certain.
The next 6 weeks will tell the story. He can also be
neutered after 6 weeks, and these procedures can be
performed at the same time if he needs an FHO.
Meanwhile, Bingo will be on daily Metacam
anti-inflammatory and Dasuquin glucosamine
supplements. He is HW- and had pre-surg bloodwork
done today. He can have a bath (had lots of flea dirt) but
cannot be groomed because he should not stand that
long.
Bingo is a sweet, quiet little guy - approx 10 months
old (13#) with beautiful teeth. He seems to understand
that the new people in his life will treat him gently. He
had some breakfast and I put him in his kennel in the
main bath. We'll go for a short walk a few times every
day. Will keep you updated, and if you have any
questions just let me know. Thank you, Holly, for
releasing Bingo to rescue. He'll get everything he
needs, including a great family.
