When treating a dog that has just undergone pelvic surgery, what type of immobilization is used?

Velpeau's sling
A compression bandage
Ehmer sling

Explanation

Answer: C - When treating a dog that has just undergone pelvic surgery, an Ehmer sling should be used. This sling is also used post-operatively in animals with craniodorsal coxofemoral luxation repairs. The sling is applied using adhesive tape with minimal padding to ensure proper placement and reduce the chances of the sling slipping.
