“Dagney had been orthopedically challenged most of her life. She was diagnosed with bilateral fragmented medial coronoid processes and canine hip dysplasia at 9 months of age. She had bilateral arthroscopic cubital surgery and a right total hip replacement by the time she was one year old. More recently, Dagney developed cranial cruciate ligament problems and has had bilateral TPLOs performed. Now, at four years of age, Dagney lives in Alaska and enjoys playing in the snow with her human brother while she waits for summer to come.”
