A close call
Not to long ago a horse fell out of the back of a trailer and got dragged behind on the highway. Fortunately the accident was observed by someone who stopped the driver, redirected traffic and flagged down an oncoming vehicle. This car luckily contained a vet student who provided first aid on the horse which then was taken to an equine hospital
The horse was seriously hurt, sustaining injuries to both his back legs, grievous deep wounds extending from his midsection beyond his hip to the tail.
Theses photos were taken two weeks after the accident before and after debridement on the 28th of January: |
