Poor Oreo

Oreo Hughes had to go to the Doggie Doctor this morning.
Oreo didn't come when Joe went to the chicken house this morning. When Joe got back, he found him still in his house and when he came out he was holding up his right front leg.

An xray showed that Oreo's elbow was dislocated. We left him at the doctor's and he said he would try to put it back in place when he caught up with his other patients. Later the doctor called and said he had put Oreo to sleep and tried for 45 minutes and couldn't get the elbow in place. The doctor was going to keep him comfortable over the weekend and when the other doctor comes in on Monday they will try again. If that doesn't work, they will perform surgery to fix it.

We assume Oreo was hit by a car. He has a few other scrapes - on his head and on his back right flank. His lower lip is also swollen. I'm sure the doctor will be able to fix him up.
