Surgery on a Club footed Shetland
Dolly is a 12 year old miniature Shetland that has severe club feet. She has lived with it with no lameness until now and the tendons (Deep Digital flexor) are getting increasingly tight. The vet decided now was the time to cut the inferior check ligament and Deep Digital flexor tendons as she was no longer able to put her heels on the floor.
Below are the before and after pictures, she is doing remarkably well but will be on a 7-8 month rehabilitation programme. You'll see that her left front is the worse and still a little upright even after surgery.
