This poor little one has gone through so much agony and would not have been able to partake in a lot of “Herd” activities because of this terrible damage to his foot caused by humans and wire !! Whilst it is always such an emotional event to be in or to watch as well as exhausting, nerve wracking and costly, the end result is always so worth the effort. Well done again, Doctors Keith and Lisa and all those that assisted. Another precious little one able to grow up as normal and can be with his family.
