'Tail-raising' surgery
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La – Staff Sgt. Jose Navarrete injects saline into an IV in preparation of Military Working Dog Febe’s partial tail amputation March 26. During the procedure, the dog is sedated to prevent pain. Medical support for the working dogs is the primary mission of the vet clinic on base. They offer a full range of services to the working dogs to include routine medical and surgical procedures, 24 hour emergency care, laboratory diagnostics and imaging. The dogs maintain a high level of medical readiness to ensure they are able to deploy around the world at a moment’s notice. Sergeant Navarrete is assigned to the 2d Security Forces Squadron K-9 unit here. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Terri Barriere)
