'Tail-raising' surgery
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La -- Dr. Darrin Olson uses a scalpel to perform a partial tail amputation on Military Working Dog Febe March 26. When a dog’s tail has been injured a full or partial amputation is necessary to ensure the MWD remains fit for duty, as being able to sit is a vital part of training. Febe’s tail, which was injured earlier this month in the line of duty, should take about two to three weeks to heal. Dr. Olson is a veterinarian assigned to the South Plains Veterinary District and Febe is a MWD assigned to the 2d Security Forces Squadron K-9 unit here. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
