A Dachshund puppy who sustained horrific injuries when he was crushed under the wheels of a car is back on all fours thanks to the swift work of two Yorkshire vet practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four-month-old William sustained three pelvic fractures, two dislocated ankles and a ruptured abdominal wall in the accident, leaving owner John Schofield fearing the worst when he saw the injuries his beloved pet had sustained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After swift work to stabilise him by Calder Vets, in Waterloo, William was referred to sister practice Paragon Veterinary Referrals, in Wakefield, for further intensive treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a series of operations, William was well enough to go home just a week later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John, who works at his father\u2019s scrapyard in Linthwaite, near Huddersfield, explained: \u201cWilliam somehow sneaked his way out of our offices and into the yard and he was unfortunately run over by one of our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was on site in a wagon and heard this awful scream behind me and knew something terrible had happened \u2013 you wouldn\u2019t believe such a small dog could make such a loud noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had no idea then what had happened, I only found out later from my Dad, Mark, who had seen the accident, but I knew William was in serious trouble because he was screaming so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just scooped him up, put him in the car and drove straight to Calder Vets but I must admit I honestly wasn\u2019t sure anything could be done for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWilliam was just lying there drifting in and out of consciousness and I feared he\u2019d have to be put down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vet Helen Hirst had other ideas and quickly got to work stabilising William, delivering pain relief and putting him on a drip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She then arranged a referral to Paragon, the new \u00a35 million vet centre in Wakefield, where William received emergency treatment from the small animal team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experienced orthopaedic surgeon Mark Tonzing, who led the treatment at the multi-disciplinary centre, revealed: \u201cWilliam was extremely fortunate that none of his vital organs were damaged in the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, our CT scan, X-rays and ultra-sound tests showed he still had a number of key injuries, mostly fractures, which all needed addressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirst we had to check the surrounding nerves and blood supply had not been damaged and then we set about repairing the injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The various operations were performed over a number of days, with anaesthetist Eva Psatha\u2019s expertise vital in managing so many procedures in such a short space of time allowing William to be discharged just a week after his emergency admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John said: \u201cTelling my partner Megan what had happened was awful. It was her idea to buy a dashchund pup and she really loves William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were both very worried but as soon as we walked into Paragon we knew it was the right move. It is an amazing place and the staff were unbelievable from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey never once mentioned putting him down or anything like that. They were only interested in assessing his injuries and making him better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow they\u2019ve done that and if it wasn\u2019t for where they\u2019ve shaved off his fur so they could operate, you wouldn\u2019t know there\u2019d been anything wrong with him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark added: \u201cHe was definitely a fighter. When I first saw him he was quite poorly and understandably a bit quiet but he recovered fairly quickly and was soon bouncing back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe day after his last surgery he was already eating and drinking and even taking a few steps. There\u2019s every reason to be hopeful he will make a good recovery once everything is fully healed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paragon Veterinary Referrals opened in February and offers expert clinical care in Anaesthesia and Analgesia, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics and Soft Tissue Surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
