Orange's wound has healed nicely. Managed to save few $ by removing the staples on my own. Orange was such a good boy sitting there nicely for me to remove them... As the wound healed, I start to feel that the metal plate getting more prominent. My fear came true after a repeated xray during the 2nd review
Bought Orange for his 2nd review on the 29th dec. Here inside the carrier while waiting the the vet, I bet Orange was reminiscing what happened to him that day... He looked nervous
This was the xray taken after the surgery. You can see the metal plate screwed onto the Lt pelvic bone to stabilise the fracture.
And this was the xray taken during the 2nd review last week. You can see the top part of the metal plate has become detached from the pelvic bone. The 1st screw had loosen completely followed by soon to be 2nd screw...
This was my fear. The prominent part was due to the loosening of the metal plate and screw. The vet commented that Orange will have to go for another surgery to remove the whole metal plate. Loose metal plate will cause friction and perhaps pain when moving joint so its best to remove.
