1257. Amputation of leg saved the rabbit's life, prevents septicaemia in a guinea pig.



Why amputate if fractures are multiple fragments?  Not possible to pin or screw. Economics.

Two case studies will give you the answers.
1. Recent fracture. GP. Big swollen swelling at fractured region.
Reasons:     
    1. Pain. Guinea pig feels the pain and licks the region to alleviate its pain
    2, Pressure sores due to dragging of foot, friction from floor, continual licking of area    
  3. Infection of the inner tissues including muscles over time - localized infection - generalized infection = septicaemia  ---> multiple organ failure ---> shock ---> death.
 4. Emaciation. Not eating much owing to daily pain of fractured area.  







Case 1. Amputation of the leg prevents septicaemia in the guinea pig in later months
Narrate slides. Include how it is anaesthesized and surgery briefly

Post op complications - infection- stitch abscess.


















Include some video footage. Overall video should be around 5 minutes. Ask owner to send video footage of latest updae in Mar 18, 2020 to close the case.

What happens if you don't operate but seek TCM? 

Case 2.  Amputation of the leg saved the rabbit from dying of septicaemia
