Pleasing 4 Pets

When Reg Walker thought that after his treasured bulldog Coal overcame cancer last year and had his left paw amputated as a result, Coal was in the clear.

That is until he learned that his much-loved best friend faced being put down by his veterinary surgeon when it was discovered that his remaining legs did not have the strength to support his solid frame.

Reg resolved to do whatever it took to return his poorly pooch to health, and laid out more than £10,000 in order have Coal fitted with a technologically advanced ‘bionic’ leg which was custom designed to match his individual tissue and would provide Coal with a normal life.

Titanium alloy was utilised to imitate Coals own hide, which enabled both the skin and bone to effectively secure the sophisticated implant without his body rejecting it.

Coal is only the second animal ever to have received this type of surgery, which was derived from a technique used to save the limb of a victim of the 7/7 bombings in London.

Coals veterinary surgeon Noel Fitzpatrick said of the surgical procedure:-

“This is unique in that it’s the world’s only implant into which skin and bone grow. It is the holy grail of research. If you have an accident and your bone sticks out through your shin, skin will try to grow round it. People have been trying for this for years and years -because with this we get an umbrella of skin attached to the metal.”
