Duc, a dog with torn knee ligaments and something else…

Carpal protector accelerates recovery from old Duc fracture

Duc is a Breton dog of 4 years and about 30 kg of weight that will have to be put on a diet.

He has instability in his right knee and complains of pain from a partial rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Ana, his caregiver, noticed Duc limping slightly and took him to the vet. While making the decision whether to operate or not, they found the knee protectors online. The protector will give you stability and reduce pain.

In addition, a few months ago Duc fractured his front leg. Nothing more and nothing less than the radius and ulna near the carpal joint.

The veterinarians of the University of Bellaterra looked to immobilize the leg temporarily with a bandage of Robert Jones. Later they placed a plaster on him.

Ana noticed that after a few weeks of removing the plaster, Duc was supporting the leg that had injured something crooked, especially on cold days. To stabilize and accelerate the rehabilitation process we have placed a carpal protector. The ceramic particles of the protector reflect the infrared heat released by Duc’s body and keep the joint warm, improving blood flow and speeding up recovery.

We hope he recovers soon.
