A Whippet Walks the Tightrope
Kody is a whippet. Whippets love to run. Kody wasn't paying attention one day to what he was doing and managed to tear the cranial cruciate ligament in his left hind leg. Kody is walking well now that his leg has been repairs using Tightrope CCL ligament repaired
Kody's owner, Susan Mallonee of AmberWind Sighthounds, immediately brought him to Elizabeth Animal Hospital where Dr. Morris, one of the few vets in Colorado that can perform the Tightrope® CCL repair surgery, was able to perform the surgery that helped Kody regain full mobility.
It wasn't long before Kody was back to running like his old self, although he now seems to be a little more careful when he makes those fast, tight turns. Kody doing what he loves best: jumping off docks at SplashDogs
And now Kody has discovered a new sport: jumping off docks as a SplashDog. He loves doing it and can't wait until summer when he can compete in what is now his favorite activity. Not a day goes by without Kody doing something that would have been impossible for him if Dr. Morris hadn't repaired his cranial cruciate ligament. He is truly a success story!
