Trauma Management in a Senior Patient

A 13-year-old dog, Zeko, was presented with a history of road traffic accident resulting in separation of the mandibular symphysis. The patient was in severe pain and unable to prehend or ingest food.

An inter-mandibular transphyseal wiring procedure was performed to achieve anatomical reduction and stabilization of the mandibles. This technique helps:
• Restore normal alignment
• Maintain functional occlusion and cosmetic appearance
• Facilitate early return to feeding

⚠️ Public Advisory
Road accidents remain a significant cause of preventable injuries in animals. Please:
• Drive cautiously, especially in residential areas
• Always check under and around your vehicle before moving

Small precautions can save lives.

As an advancing veterinary institution in the country, despite increasing attrition, we continue to work round the clock to deliver critical clinical services and save every possible animal life.

A decade ago, we lacked advanced diagnostic tools and surgical capacity. Today, with improved technical expertise and modern equipment, we are able to perform a wide range of major procedures—from orthopedic to complex abdominal and thoracic surgeries—many of them life-saving.

Veterinary medicine is a continuously evolving field that demands skill, precision, and constant adaptation. Regardless of the challenges, we have always placed animal welfare above personal comfort and have successfully saved countless lives.

However, it is deeply disheartening to see overwhelming negativity when we lose one case, while the many lives saved often go unrecognized. Such perspectives risk creating unnecessary disharmony in a small society like ours. Constructive support and balanced understanding are essential if we are to continue progressing as a profession and as a nation.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

We have recently observed an increasing number of cases involving the illegal import of pets across the border. Such imports occur without complying with the requirements set by the Bhutan Food and Drug Authority, including obtaining an import permit prior to acquiring the pet.

Please be informed that these practices pose a significant risk of introducing infectious diseases into the country.

All legally imported pets must be accompanied by the following supporting documents from the seller:
1. Authorized breeding certificate
2. Vaccination certificate (DHPPi+L – two doses, and anti-rabies vaccination along with rabies antibody titre report)
3. Pedigree or family history of the pet

However, recent verifications have revealed that many imported pets lack these essential documents, and some animals have already been infected at the source. It also came to our notice that few taxi drivers were also involved in transporting the pets.

Therefore, we strongly urge the general public and pet owners to refrain from importing pets through illegal means. Non-compliance will result in penalties in accordance with the provBhutan Food and Drug Authority Department of Livestock, Royal Government of Bhutanod and Drug Authority Department of Livestock, Royal Government of Bhutan Royal Bhutan Police
