Healing Freida Whippet & friends

Freida Whippet was struck by a car on September 12, 2019 after my dogs escaped from their fenced yard. Here you will find tales from her recovery and healing, including the people, products and techniques which helped. There will also be info about services I’ll be offering to help cover costs of her care and treatments. Below: Hermit the Dog watches over Freida on the initial trip from Fredericton to Riverview, NB.

On September 24, the day before she was due for her 2 week checkup with Dr Arsenault, Freida hopped out of her crate with her back leg hanging ominously - I rushed her to her regular clinic, Douglas Animal Hospital, and Dr Jameel and the team got right to work on her. We quickly learned that the titanium plate screwed to her femur had BROKEN! They stabilized her there, then I took her back down to Riverview Animal Hospital for a second surgery & new plate that afternoon.

This is Freida Whippet on September 14, 2019, after her first surgery to repair a femur broken when she was carstruck on Sept 12.
