A short video of Dr. Cloutier performing a cruciate surgery. This is the same procedure done on Henry, but not Henry in the video. He utilizes a laser which makes the surgery less bloody and overall very clean looking. Dr. Cloutier performs cruciate repairs on a pretty regular basis. One nice feature he does to help try and reduce having to use the elizabethan collar, AKA the Cone of Shame, is keep the sutures below the skin. By using that technique, the surgical site itches less, and there are no tempting suture knots on the surface to nibble at. So far it has been successful with Henry. We haven't had to put a cone on him or really even get after him for licking the area. He so far is being a compliant patient.
