Meet Amazonia, a 9-month old “pocket pittie" comes to Penn Vet from ACCT. She was not using her left leg, exceept for extra balance. X-rays revealed that Amazonia had multiple fractures there and her joint and patella were also affected. Amazonia received surgery with great results.
Polo, a 3-year-old Shihtzu, came to us from ACCT. Polo was hit by a car and suffered fractures, contusions, and a rectal prolapse. He received care for his injuries and pain, and was transferred to Orthopedic surgery for evaluation, further diagnostics and surgery. He has since recovered well.

Castle, a 4-month-old hound mix, arrived at Penn Vet from ACCT. Castle had soft swelling around his skull and fluid under his skin, down to his neck, as well as bite wounds on his back.
