My 6 month old Savannah, Deizel, severely broke his back leg! He was in my wifeâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s arms when he got badly spooked. He started to claw and panic and my wife was trying to calm him when he kicked out of her arms. She happened to be holding his leg and he twisted on his leap and she heard the crack. We took him to our regular Vet who took e-rays and it showed a brake through the growth plate. I had to bring him to a specialist who is performing surgery this morning, Saturday. The surgical doctor is not real confident he can fix the brake but will do his best. There is such a small amount of bone and the bones are so soft that there is no telling if it will take. We have only one shot at this and if the surgery is successful Deizel will have to be immobile for 8 weeks!!! If anything happens, such as the surgery not taking or Deizel moving the wrong way and re-braking the repair then he will loose his leg. I just can't believe this has happened, so, so sad.
