MAGIC IS OUT OF SURGERY AND HE IS DOING VERY WELL!!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Magic is out of surgery and he did just GREAT!

The surgeon didn't find anything more than what the xrays had shown or what he had expected. Magic's pelvis has now had a plate pinned to it to support and brace the pelvis where it had been fractured in the four places. He will be monitored very closely tonight to keep him off that leg and allow his body to once again catch up to even further trauma caused by the surgery. Tomorrow will be a day of rest and healing for Magic.

Then the rehabilitation and therapy will begin, slowly at first, with just allowing Magic to stand on his repaired pelvis and leg for the first week and then gradually increasing after that. It's been two weeks since the accident, he literally hasn't used any of his legs for that length of time. Even the front legs that weren't injured will also need to slowly regain their strength and stamina from muscles that have atrophied.

But, the WORST IS NOW BEHIND MAGIC! He has certainly lived up to his name and continues to amaze all that he touches.

Please remember that Magic continues to need your support of him as a Guardian Angel. Without this CP program, we would not have been able to say YES to Magic. There would have been no one to help Magic get the medical and surgical care he needed and his story today would be far different ... You can become a Guardian Angel for Magic by clicking here .


Just in case you forgot what that sweet little face looks like, I've attached a picture taken last week following Magic's amputation surgery by the Angel who picked up Magic from the road where he laid broken and hurt. She took this picture when when she visited him at the vet's office.
