We are so excited to highlight our December Pet Of The Month: Copper, the 5 month old doodle! ๐พ Copper has certainly been through a lot with us lately, and we are happy to tell his story. On December 6th, Highlands Animal Clinic received a call from Copper's incredible owners, who reported pain & limping after a fall from the couch. The Highlands Animal Clinic team had them come right down to the clinic, where it was discovered Copper had suffered a pretty serious fracture! We got him bandaged up, sent home with some pain control for the weekend, and had him come back down 3 days later, right after the weekend, for surgery ASAP with the goal of repairing his leg. Our phenomenal orthopedic specialist, Dr. Preston Stubbs, made himself immediately available. ๐
While Copper's journey has certainly been a long one, he has been the best boy! He is making a full recovery and has remained in consistent care with Highlands Animal Clinic since the event - no outsourcing needed. We are looking forward to Copper being able to return to his normal puppy activities within the coming weeks! We are appreciative of the fantastic team & the immediate and compassionate care that was offered to Copper, as well as the speedy solution to get Copper feeling his best again. We are also grateful for his incredible owners, who remained level headed, patient, and compliant with Copper's entire treatment plan! When we told them our concerns and heard Copper yelping over the phone, we knew this baby had to be seen ASAP, and they took no hesitation in bringing him down. We look forward to many more great days of watching this little man become the best golden doodle he can be! ๐
