'She still has more strength to develop in the limbs and the chest, but she's making a good recovery,' said Dr. Erik Clary.
The Oklahoma State University's College of Veterinary Medicine was approached in May to conduct a procedure to correct a rat terrier puppy's front paws, which were upside down."Siggi" underwent successful surgery in May and is now enjoying her newfound puppy life as she continues to heal.
This surgery came a little more than two years after another successful surgery on Milo, a foxhound puppy who was born with paws that were also facing upward. Milo's story reached national and international news. It was because of that media exposure that a Dallas animal rescue group reached out to Dr. Erik Clary, an associate professor of small animal surgery and bioethics who also conducted Milo's surgery."As with Milo, Siggi's problem looked like it was in the paws but it was actually in her elbows,"distributed by the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine's Dr. Erik Clary with fourth-year veterinary student Gabriela Iribar. Dr. Clary led a team of four to perform corrective surgery on Siggi.that Siggi's surgery was more complex than Milo's surgery because Siggi's bones had more deformities in the lower part of her elbow. It required him to fracture some of Siggi's bones to successfully complete the procedure.
Luckily, Clary and his team managed to finish the surgery on both elbows, rather than having to conduct two separate surgeries. He said puppies shouldn't be under anesthesia for a long period of time, but he and his team completed the procedure in about three to three-and-a-half hours.
