PORT ANGELES — Dr. Dwight Waknitz, a veterinarian for 30 years with Olympic Veterinary Clinic, recently received advanced training in tibial plateau leveling surgery.
This surgery is done to correct a torn ligament in a canine’s knee, often the cause of a hind leg limp.
A lecture and hands-on laboratory were at the Oquendo Center, operated by the Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas.
The training was presented by board-certified veterinary surgeons Brian Beale and Caleb Hudson of Houston.
The procedure is available at Olympic Veterinary Clinic, 1416 E. Front St.
