Im not really sure if Petra knows what shes signed up for but I

10:03:24:11 here so its definitely a bad time to be outside on your own. Im
certainly hoping hes gonna be okay. Im hoping that he pulls out
of this. I dont know what this is gonna end up costing so well
see how that goes but I dont know, it seems like the value of a
10:03:43:18 life is certainly more than money in a bank account.

10:03:48:13 Dr. Jeff


Alright we need to get everything washed off the back end with
some warm water. Gotta get him cleaned up next and see if
theres any major injury and see if he comes round.

10:05:25:08 and it was the mouse poison. We wanted to raise them for their

Were ready for you guys. Do you want to come back?

10:05:41:17 Dr. Amy Hutcheson


Pets eating mouse poison is very common. They sell it as being
10:05:42:09 too bitter, often thats not the case. Vitamin K is the standard
GRAPHICS ON treatment but Ive never given it to chickens before.

I picked a bad day to wear my hair down!

10:06:19:24 Dr. Amy Hutcheson


Where you going? Shes looking for an escape route.

10:06:25:18 Dr. Amy Hutcheson


Mouse poison removes the ability of the blood to clot so an
animal can live normal from the outside but if they were to get
injured or cut they could potentially bleed out.

10:06:34:21 Dr. Amy Hutcheson


Thats a normal colour too, her vent back there.

10:06:37:24 Dr. Amy Hutcheson


We give vitamin K because it restores that clotting ability.

10:06:42:10 Dr. Amy Hutcheson


Okay there we go.

10:06:43:08 Erica

it was.

Hey Noodle. Yeah thats pretty bad.

10:08:27:01 Dr. Jeff


Noodle has really bad teeth. When you have rotten teeth youre
sending bacteria into the bloodstream which goes to the heart,
kidney, liver, lungs. Basically those teeth need to be pulled.
When in doubt pull it out is the bottom line for me.

10:08:41:10 NARRATOR
BEFORE NOODLE GETS ANAESTHESIA JEFF NEEDS TO
SEE IF HIS HEART CAN HANDLE THE STRESS.

10:08:49:13 Dr. Jeff


Anaesthesia is risky any time. Sometimes you dont have a
choice.

10:08:55:14 Dr. Jeff


It seems big for his chest cavity. But his hearts not that bad.
Right now its in his best interest to have those teeth pulled,
theyre really pretty bad.

So surprised they didnt cast him.

10:13:07:12 Dr. Jeff


That should have been put in a cast. You can see how much
bigger the leg is and those are sharp pieces of bone sticking in
the muscle and my guess is its been moving around.

10:13:15:19 Dr. Jeff


Champ was hit by a car some time Friday night. He went to a

GRAPHICS ON phoned us on Monday. The problem is the thigh bone has kind
SCREEN: of split and theres two pretty sharp pieces angled out like that.

There was a brief moment where we had to consider that as our

Thats the problem right there. Like 80 percent of dogs hit by a

10:16:26:14 Dr. Jeff


We spay here as mandatory at the clinic here and the truth is
fixed animals live longer and are healthier than unfixed animals.
Its just that simple.

10:16:36:12 NARRATOR
CHAMP WILL BE NEUTERED AFTER DR. JEFF TACKLES
THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO HIS LEG.

10:16:42:09 Dr. Jeff


So ultimately we have to get the bone aligned - this is your ball
and socket joint and put an internal iron pin, so that goes right
down the middle, okay, and that helps with compression forces.
We put some wire around the big pieces and then we put an
10:16:57:00 external fixer, which is basically pins and a bar and it acts like an
external cast.

10:17:06:11 NARRATOR
DR. JEFFS FIRST JOB IS TO PUT ALL THE BONE
FRAGMENTS BACK TOGETHER.

10:17:11:09 Dr. Jeff


So I just found pieces of bone. This is really broken badly.
Three, four, five, six pieces of bone. A lot more pieces than what
I thought were on x-ray. Theyre just falling apart.

10:17:30:22 Dr. Jeff


A couple of those sharp pieces were turned sideways. The
muscle has just been lacerated horribly. Thats the problem with
Job ID: 90354
Dr. Jeff - Rocky Mountain Vet S2
140337 Ep 01

not stabilizing. It just looks like hamburger.

10:17:43:02 Dr. Jeff


This is really crushed good.

10:17:45:22 Dr. Jeff


The problem weve got here is Ive got one really long piece then
Ive got a whole bunch of little pieces, and I mean a whole bunch
of little pieces. This is not gonna be perfect. Im just gonna try to
get things in the same room and let the body do its thing.

10:17:59:22 Dr. Jeff


Cause I want to make sure I know which side is up and down on
him; Ive got to put this puzzle back together. Ah, I cant decide.
Too many pieces.

10:18:18:18 Dr. Jeff


So thats the long sharp piece, so that piece is up like that.
Alright so were pretty close.

10:18:27:24 Dr. Jeff


Yeah thats nice.

10:18:30:15 NARRATOR
WITH THE FRAGMENTS FINALLY ALIGNED, DR. JEFF
DRIVES A METAL PIN THROUGH CHAMPS THIGH BONE TO
KEEP IT STABLE.

10:18:37:01 Dr. Jeff


So Im gonna try to wire the two ends of the long piece thats
Job ID: 90354
Dr. Jeff - Rocky Mountain Vet S2
140337 Ep 01

broken, and its really sharp and that was the one that was
sideways on x-ray.

10:18:47:22 Dr. Jeff


So at this point weve got them, I cant say exactly where they
belong but pretty close. There was no major bleeding, I think
most of the bruise and everything is just from the muscle being
lacerated so much. The blood supply is good so hopefully with
10:19:00:23 any luck this should heal. Can I get a staple gun?

10:19:04:15 NARRATOR
DR. JEFF TEMPORARILY STAPLES CHAMPS LEG SO HE
CAN CHECK THE ALIGNMENT ON AN X-RAY.

10:19:11:19 Dr. Jeff


It doesnt look half bad from that position. Its cracked up there, a
little piece missing. Just the last little pieces. That looks good, I
promise you, thats ten times worse than it looks but it should
heal is the point.

10:19:27:16 NARRATOR
THE FINAL STEP IS TO ATTACH AN EXTERNAL FIXATOR.

10:19:31:11 Dr. Jeff


It looks like an external cast essentially. So instead of putting the
cast on were gonna put pins through that holds everything in
place and in perfect alignment. Then Ill neuter him. You got the
pin? Okay. Grab that pin.

Unfortunately overnight its grown even more and its actually
tearing the skin. If this is a malignant mass, and I am concerned
based on how quickly its growing, it could result in amputation.

10:21:04:21 Matt
Okay.

10:21:05:07 Dr. Rachel Nichols


Then you can determine if this is gonna be something we have to
move forward with an amputation or not.

10:21:10:24 Matt
Well be dealing with amputation if it comes back as

10:21:13:01 Dr. Rachel Nichols


If its something malignant.

10:21:14:10 Matt
Okay.

10:21:14:12 Dr. Rachel Nichols


Yeah if its something malignant then that means that it will
invade the tissue locally again or it could spread to other parts of
her body.

10:21:21:07 Matt
Its okay.

10:21:22:08 Matt
Hopefully they can do something to help her. I feel kind of

helpless at this point right now.

10:21:31:12 Dr. Rachel Nichols


Well see if we can find out a little bit more about whats going on
here.

10:21:36:00 Dr. Rachel Nichols


Im gonna use a needle to get a sample from inside the mass.

10:21:40:11 Male Assistant


Good girl. Thats a good girl.

10:21:41:13 Dr. Rachel Nichols


Thats a good dog. And so with this aspirates youre just filling
the hub of the needle there.

10:21:49:16 Dr. Rachel Nichols


So I will fix that and have a look at it.

10:21:56:09 Dr. Rachel Nichols


Just looking through this sample here. When you come in with
just a needle and youre just taking a little core sample from that,
you wont always get any cells that are diagnostic. And
unfortunately I dont feel like I have anything we can use.

10:22:14:17 Dr. Rachel Nichols


So I need to take a biopsy of the mass and well send that out to
a lab to try to figure out if this is malignant.

quite a bit of that. Were using a little cast to help support that

As far as recovery goes is he supposed to be putting weight on
it?

10:38:04:22 Dr. Jeff


Yeah, yeah, he can put weight on it. You know the truth is you
have to have gravity, that touching, that force is what tells the
bone, I mean it aligns itself with gravity, it knows what kind of
bone it is, itll re-form basically and really its pretty amazing what
10:38:19:01 the body can do.
