A poor dog with strange legs was found wandering the road, desperately waiting for help.
Luck, the dog, has spent most of his life on the streets due to his malformed paws. He is unable to walk comfortably. It was a difficult situation for him, and the rescuers were amazed at how he managed to survive for so long.
Once rescued, the dog was taken to a medical facility where several tests were conducted to determine the cause of its twisted paws. X-rays revealed that the dog’s tail was amputated when it was a puppy. The injuries sustained from the amputation resulted in the inability of the paws to straighten up.
The caudal vertebrae, which are the bones in this region of the dog’s body, are connected to various tissues. Dogs use their tails and ears to convey important information. This action caused immense suffering to the animal and resulted in the deformity of Luck’s paws. It is possible that the person responsible did not follow proper procedures.
According to the rescuers, the dog would require months of therapy along with surgery. Due to his condition, Luck would spend a significant amount of time in the clinic. Moreover, the surgery would result in considerable medical expenses. However, nothing would deter the dog’s rescuers from completing their rehabilitation work and giving him a chance at a normal life.
For this case, the choices suggested by the doctors were surgery on both paws or physical therapy sessions. The veterinary facility consulted a canine bone expert who recommended a cast instead of surgery. But this was no ordinary cast; it was a prosthesis that could improve his performance by up to 60%.
The dog underwent anesthesia, and the veterinarians corrected his bones to initiate the healing process. Despite the discomfort of the procedure, Luck has demonstrated immense bravery. He was more than determined to have a normal life and would not rest until he achieved it.
Despite the lengthy process of the dog’s therapy, he is fortunate to have the support of amazing people as he begins a much better life.
