Sonny: Recovery After Serious Road Traffic Accident
Five-month-old puppy Sonny makes a full recovery after surgery at Animal Trust Ellesmere Port following a serious road traffic accident
06 Nov 2026
Five-month-old puppy Sonny was referred to our Animal Trust Ellesmere Port hospital after being involved in a road traffic accident. The accident left Sonny with a serious fracture to his hind leg, a partial tear to one of his tendons and several open wounds.
Sonny underwent surgery with Dylan, a European Specialist in Small Animal Surgery, to repair the fracture, repair the damaged tendon and treat his wounds.
Since surgery, Sonny has made a full recovery. Recent X-rays showed excellent healing of the fracture, and he is expected to return to full activity in just a few weeks.
We’re delighted to see this young patient doing so well after such a serious injury and wish Sonny all the best as he gets back to enjoying life as a puppy.
