Riptide Undergoes Surgery For Hip Fracture

Hi, my name is Riptide. If you didn�t catch my original story you can read it at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.681547338553671.1073742749.108625789179165&type=3

I came to Soi Dog recently with a leg wound and when Dr Sai examined me, she noticed I was not able to put weight on back right leg. I was sent for x-rays and it was found that I had a fracture in my leg bone, near my hip. No wonder I don�t want to walk on that leg!

I have recently had surgery to fix this problem. It still hurts a little bit so I am still not walking properly but I hope I will be soon. The vets are checking me every day and are cleaning my surgical wound so that it doesn�t get infected. They are also giving me some tablets called pain killers to help me and are making sure I get lots of rest. They have been so kind to me. I like them, but I have to admit I am a little bit scared about all the things that have been happening to me lately.

Thank you to the members of the Emergency Response Team. The vets have told me that without you, they wouldn�t be able to give me the care I need. If you are not a member of this team, but would like to help dogs like me, please visit https://www.soidog.org/en/donate-today/ert/ert.html and join today.
