Amazing vets

This is a Shire foal. At 3 weeks old he broke his leg. The vet is called who had so much experience he can tell what the problem is just by looking. The logistics of getting mother Shire and foal to the practice for an x-ray are complex so he thinks for a while.
"I have everything I need in my car. I have a ten minute window to get this leg manipulated then plastered".
He rings the surgery for another vet to attend just in case he can't get the job done in ten minutes and they will have to stretch the anaesthetic. He wouldn't be able afford to stop his work on the broken leg to re-inject the foal.
He spends a good time preparing his materials and equipment. Setting a leg in the field. Literally. Cutting bandages and laying each strip out. There will be no time to cut or measure or look for things in that ten minute window of the unconscious three week old foal.

He is successful. This is a photo of the foal's leg in his second pot. This one is looser, allowing movement of the last joint. An X-ray last week showed that it had been a broken leg, three fractures of the fetlock with multiple damage to ligaments too.
The foal had further challenges as the shock also brought on pneumonia and he was very very sick. It was touch and go.

However, three weeks after the break,
prognosis is good. Pneumonia has gone and the wee chappie is doing extremely well.
An amazing vet. Dedicated owners. Fighting foal :-)
