Dreamin's Broken Ankle Operation

 Dreamin' is asleep! Now the operation begins. We are out in Dr. Jensen Vet barn, the only way to operate is to put Dreamin on the floor and Dr. Jensen has to kneel on a concrete floor! The Dr. finds the cracked bone and shows us the cracked joint.

Dr. Jensen gets out the Power Tools
Dr. Jensen gets the drill ready to to make a hole for the screws. He has to finish the job by using a hand screw driver
Needlework
We decided to fuse the ankle bones together, instead of putting a metal straps in Dreamin's ankle
Wrapping Dreamin's Ankle

First they wrapped the leg with gauze & pads. The Dr. put on the cast and they wrapped the of the cast. Three hours later Dreamin operation is ankle operation is finished. Dr. Jensen even trimmed Dreamin's toenails!
