Truffle had fractured both front limbs (radius/ulna). It was Christmas weekend and they could not get an appointment to fix both limbs until the following week. Truffle’s parents contacted Dr. Pedraza and he was able to squeeze her in the next day. We would like to thank Truffle for being an amazing patient. A few weeks later in January 2022, Truffle is walking and using both limbs.
