Please send your healing thoughts northwards to help one of our foster's. Her name is Mineux and she has a broken leg. Both of the tiny bones below the knee joint were broken due to an unfortunate accident in her foster home. Her foster dad is beside himself with guilt over this. He learned the hard way just how quickly accidents can happen. Mineux has been through two casts already but they keep falling off after only a few days We've spoken with a board certified surgeon hoping that he could pin the leg or apply a steel plate but because of the location of the break (too close to the joint) and the size of the bones he does not think it will work. Today our vet is going to try a traction cast which is our last option to try and heal the breaks. If it will not stay on then Mineux will loose her leg. Even though we know she would do okay with only three legs we want to give her this last chance to heal completely. Mineux is only 9 months old. She needs all the positive thoughts you can send.
