Turbo - Gun shot wound
September Pet of Month

 


Turbo is a one and a half year old male Rottweiler that was brought to AMC with gunshot wounds to the face.  Radiographs revealed he was shot with birdshot and it was spread throughout his face and chest.  His left cornea ruptured, so his eye was surgically removed.  Turbo's wounds were cleaned daily, and after 3 days of hospitalization, he was discharged.  He came in for a recheck the following week after the surgery and he is doing wonderful.  Pictured below is his radiographs and Turbo now.
