Speckles Visits the Vets

Many thanks to Dr. Sara Hall and Dr. Ginger Kelly, two veterinarians at "Walking on the Moon Animal Hospital."   Didn't they make a great picture.

I had to take Speckles, my Silver Laced Wyandott hen in for some surgery.  Apparently she has bumble foot.  Bumble foot happens when the foot becomes infected due to a cut or injury.  Most of the time, the foot has to be opened up and the mass of bacteria must be removed.  Dr.Sara and Dr. Ginger deadened the pain with Lidocaine and then proceeded to remove as much of the bacteria as possible.  I appreciated how sweet and gentle they were because this surgery is very painful even with pain killer and Speckles' foot was badly infected.   You can see her foot all wrapped up after the surgery.  We are hoping for a full recovery.  Thank you Dr. Sara and Dr. Ginger!  

Walking on the Moon Animal Hospital always has your pet's best interest at heart and they really care for them.  The people of Union Springs and the surrounding area are blessed to have such quality care close to home.
