How did National Police Dog Foundation & Pet Emergency Clinic help "K-9 Quwai" from Glendale Police Department?
 

K-9 Quwai looks ready for action, but will have to be sidelined for a few months while recovering from two surgeries.  K-9 Quwai has sustained a partial tear in both his anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL), which will require two surgeries to correct. It is not known if the injury was the result of one incident, or something that had developed over time. Similar to human athletes, this injury can occur in dogs when the ligament that joins the femur and tibia is stretched or moved in a direction that is not natural. This can occur if a dog lands awkwardly from a jump or is simply running on slippery floors. 

 

K-9 Quwai had his 2nd surgery on July 7th, 2009 and will need to recoer for the next 4 months before returning to light duty!  The good news is that most dogs (over 90%) are expected to regain a very active and athletic lifestyle with no post-operative complications and without the need for any pain relieving medication.
