**UPDATE**
Owner found, thank you all sooooooooo much for sharing and tagging 😊😊
We found a mobile phone in amongst some donations on Tuesday and we aren't sure if it's been donated in error. It's locked with a passcode so we can't sell it even if the donation is correct. If anyone can identify and contact either of the ladies in the picture please may you ask them to contact us. Many thanks.
We hope you are not squeamish - so look away if you are!
We thought you might like to see how one of our patients has responded to his treatment with us.
"Gunner" came in because he had been shot. The shot had shattered his leg, and left it necrotic and useless, so we had a decision to make. Should we have him put to sleep? Or should we try having his leg amputated so he can live a full and happy life in our permanent pigeons aviary, with the possibility of living in a free flying loft in the future? He would obviously need extra support so it was a big decision to make.
So - decision made and Alistair from Glenythan Vets amputated Gunner's leg. It was an complicated operation and Gunner's leg had to be amputated right up next to his body. The wound couldn't be stitched as it was so extensive, so a brilliant plan was put in place with stiches holding a pad in place and daily treatment needed to keep the wound moist.
It was a lot of work for all of us, but we are delighted how well Gunner has responded, and he will be moving out to our aviary very soon <3
