On 4-16-25, an injured pitbull puppy, male, tan, est DOB 1-10-25, was brought to Northwood on emergency. He had been hit by a car the day before and was in obvious pain. He had been seen the week before to treat a bite wound on side of his face. This time he was not using his left rear leg. Radiographs showed midshaft fracture of his tibia and fibula. Incidentally, there was a bullet noted in his rump. This poor little guy had a rough start to life.
The owners decided they could not care for Basil and relinquished him to the hospital for care. A splint was placed on his left rear legs. Since he is a young puppy, he should heal well. Vaccines were started as was deworming. He had a heavy flea and tick infestation that was addressed. He has been neutered and microchipped. He is still in a splint, but adoption can proceed. CARE will take care of his fracture management.
