Help - Friend needs a Vet ASAP that can do surgery

Post by Mumpy » Thu Nov 19, 2015 6:37 pm

My best friend went to Kansas for Pheasant hunting this week. Today was the last day. walking back to the vehicle a bird gets up and flies across the road, his 9mo old GSP chased and got hit. Everything happened so fast my friend said he can't explain how fast it all happened. Anyway, the front leg is broken at the Joint. The Vet said they couldn't do the surgery and the closest place that could is Wichita Kansas. He called there and they are so backed up with surgeries that they can't do it. He's heading back to Georgia and we're desperately looking for a place between Kansas and Georgia that could do the surgery. He also understands that the dog may lose the leg completely.

Does ANYONE Know where my friend can take his GSP pup to get this surgery in Oklahoma City, Missouri anywhere?

I don't have a phone number, but Dr. Rodger Sifferman is Springfield, MO is a very talented and dedicated vet that understands performance dogs. I have friends that take their dogs a thousand miles to have him treat them. He is that good. Dr. Shannon McGee in Memphis, TN is also very good and a friend.

That is a good Emergency Hospital and one of the vets is a Bird Dog/NAVHDA guy.

Good luck Mumpy, my heart goes out to you and your pup.

I had a sitch like that a few weeks ago, We were heading back to the truck and nearing the road and as I was about to check cord him, he took off after a bird right near the road. I could hear the bird flush toward the road and the traffic. Luckily, he came bounding back to me....whew.

Pup is still in surgery, the Doctor seemed Confident but also said it is an uncommon break. Still waiting to hear from my friend, I'll keep everyone updated as soon as I hear.

Thanks again
