We’ve got some truly amazing Before and After’s for you...starting with this beautiful young lab mix who was a little too friendly around a horse resulting in a kick to the head. Cali came to us with blood coming from her nostrils and severe trauma to the right side of her head. CT scans were essential to be able to see multiple fractures of her upper jaw, nasal bones, and bones that support her eye. Believe it or not, this sweet thing was still wagging her tail and asking for belly rubs! We had to approach her fractures through the top of her nose—our goals being to remove any unsupported fragments, make sure that no bones were displaced into her nasal cavity, make sure her eye socket was supported, and ensure her occlusion (bite) remained perfect. Cali did SO well and came back to us with a wagging tail begging for some cookies and showing off some tricks. 👏🥰She is the sweetest girl and we love seeing her so healed and happy! Moral of the story: never stand too close to a horse. You just never know. 😬 #kickedbyahorse #faceinjury #headtrauma #ctscan #doginjury #allbetter #beforeandafter #thenandnow #healed #veterinarymedicine #facefracture #prettygirl #happygirl #healed #labmix #veterinaryspecialists #veterinarydentistry

The Curious Case Of Button Kitty... This is Special Agent 81 (he was found on highway 81 with multiple injuries, including jaw fractures). For little Agent here, we used a technique where we place buttons next to the nose and below the chin and suture them together, effectively creating a muzzle that holds the mouth closed enough to heal, but allows it to open enough for our patients to eat. For our really young animals with jaw fractures, there are some important things to keep in mind: 1- the jaw bones grow really fast in puppies and kittens, so we try to avoid rigid fixation (like plates/screws,etc...) so that the jaw can continue to grow while healing. 2- Any jaw trauma when young can cause problems with adult teeth, so rechecks are essential. 3- The fixation devices we use are removed within 2-3 weeks to allow the jaw to keep growing normally once some stability has occurred. 😺 🦷 🐱 🦷 🐱 #themoreyouknow #buttonkitty #specialagent81 #specialagent #toothtalk #buttons #jawfracture #device #creative #youngpatient #dentistryworld #dental #veterinarymedicine #veterinaryspecialist #veterinarydentistry #mypetssmile
