Who needs four toes when you've got this much personality? 🦖💚Say hello to Henry - our Bravest Pet of the Month!🌟
Henry first came to see us with a strange nail on his back paw - it was growing at an odd angle, crumbly, and infected. Vet Rebecca decided to sedate Henry to remove the nail, discovering it was abnormal all the way to the base. Student Nurse Maia helped by placing a neat bandage, and his paw healed well at first.
A few months later, poor Henry was back - the nail had grown back quickly, his toe swollen, and he was in pain. After discussing options, Rebecca and Henry's owner agreed a toe amputation was the best solution. Rebecca performed the surgery, and Nurse Emily monitored Henry's anaesthetic and placed a tidy post-surgery bandage, which Nurse Lauren decorated with Halloween bandage art! 🎃👻
We're so pleased to say Henry's paw is healing beautifully! 💚He's his usual excitable self, loves belly rubs, and brightens everyone's day when he visits. He's now affectionately known as our "Dino Toe" hero - proof that a missing toe can't slow him down! 🦖🐶
Well done, Henry - you've truly earned your Bravest Pet of the Month title! 🌟
