A puppy who suffered a fractured spine in a freak fall has made a "miraculous" recovery following high-risk surgery. Four-month-old lurcher George had to have his spinal cord realigned during the pain-staking operation.
Vets say "one wrong movement" could have resulted in "death of permanent injury". George had been playing with his lurcher pal Willow when he jumped and trapped his paw in a rabbit hole, causing his body to twist and land awkwardly.
His owner Helen Ridgway, who was working in Norfolk at the time and had taken George and Willow along in her campervan, rushed him to a local vet but x-rays failed to show any obvious damage and he was sent home with painkillers, reports CheshireLive.
