Meet Bug! 🐾

Bug visited AOW last month after fracturing his radius and ulna. Our surgeon stabilised the fracture with a 2.0 Locking Compression Plate on the radius and passed a 1.0 Kwire from the Caudal Olecranon to the fracture site of the ulna.

Bug was so lovely to have in clinic! He was so smoochy, lapping up all the pats before his surgery 🥰 He even had the best spot in clinic with a little bit of morning sun to lie in 🌞

Thank you to Raumati Vet Centre for referring Bug and his family to AOW 🥰

Harness Check! 🐾

Even with the best intentions, your dog's harness might be causing discomfort rather than comfort. Many harnesses restrict natural movement - including shoulder rotation, chest expansion, and overall gait - which can lead to pain over time.

Explore our guide for tips on achieving the perfect fit! 🐕

Meet Maddie! 🐾

This lovely girl visited the AOW team the other month after fracturing her radius and ulna 🦴

Dr Brent Higgins stabilised the fracture with a 2.7mm locking compression plate on the radius and a 1.2mm pin in the ulna. Gentamycin beads, which you may notice in the 'after' xrays, were placed over the plate to help prevent infection.

We recently saw Maddie back for her 6 week recheck and we are happy to report she is healing well! 🥰

Meet Ranger! 🐶

Ranger came into AOW last month after dislocating his toe (5th digit P1-P2) while doing zoomies. Dr Brent realigned the joint and used external fixators to hold everything perfectly in place while it heals. Swipe to see the before and after x-rays!🩻

Thank you to the team at Animates Vetcare Paraparaumu for referring Ranger and his family to AOW 🥰
