Vet Case Study: Feb 2025. RTA in a Corgi in Myanmar.
RTA
(Road Traffic Accidents) in pet dogs are common in some peak-hour
busy roads in Myanmar.
Many pet dog owners live in shophouses
fronting the main road. The pet dog runs out from
an open door and
dashes across the busy road. Many get knocked down by vehicles,
suffering traumatic injuries like leg fractures and death.
This video discusses the vet case of a non-displaced fracture
in the distal 1/3 femur of the Corgi.
The femur is cast and
splinted. This is cheaper than open surgery using pins and screws.
However, the owner must ensure that the dog does not bite off the
cast and will seek reviews 1-2 weekly especially if the cast is loose
or the skin is infected, inflamed and swollen.
In this case,
the dog bit off the cast. The owner did not want re-casting.
