Angel, aka CSL Wild Angel, is a 3-year-old brindle female born October 18, 2008. Her sire is Craigie Whistler and her dam is Y Knot Cady. Angel has 35 races to her credit on Greyhound-data.com, all at Gulf Greyhound Park - she was quite the racer, competing in the AA class! Her record of races starts on October 8, 2010 and ends on April 28, 2011. She broke her leg in November 2011, and it was repaired, however she is suffering from complications due to a bone infection and joined the GALT family to receive necessary treatment.
UPDATE 1/17/2012
Dr. Bob Radasch of the Dallas Veterinary Surgery Center removed the pin and wire that were originally inserted in Angel's leg last November. A culture was taken of the surrounding tissue to determine the best antibiotic that should be prescribed to counteract this severe infection. Angel's leg is very unstable, so a splint was put in place which will require weekly bandage changes at this time. It is hopeful the infection can be cleared up. If so, she will be back to square one, having the leg re-set, which again, we hope is possible. Angel has a long, long road of recovery ahead of her.
