In this article, read about how a 1-year-old, spayed female mixed-breed dog recovered from a delayed union femur fracture with the aid of laser therapy.  The patient was referred to Arlington Park Veterinary Services, in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, where laser therapy was instituted to attempt to stimulate bone healing and assist with pain relief before further surgery with possible bone grafting.
