Prosthetic Center to Make Leg for Puppy
Maybe we should have a cute file, if only I could put aside the images of starving kiddies in Africa before posting this.
The Greater Flint Prosthetic Center made a cast last week that will will help them on how to make a new leg for 4-month-old Peg, a puppy born without an ankle joint or right paw.
According to MyWay, making an artificial leg for a puppy can be tricky. It could be attached to the dog’s leg with a harness or a Velcro-type material. To prevent her from chewing on the leg, it will be made of material similar to bulletproof vests.
Veterinarians with Baker College’s training program put Peg under anesthesia and took X-rays to help Miller make the leg. Baker joined Miller in doing the work for free because Peg’s owner, Carol Beavnier, works for a nonprofit organization.
