Follow the progress of Louis the goat's broken leg - Part Two. Louis goes under the anaesthetic.








This is Louis receiving oxygen by mask to help him through his anaesthetic. 

Goats provide several challenges compared to dogs and cats. 

The most difficult aspect was that they do not tolerate being kept on their back for prolonged periods, which would have been the positioned used for a dog having surgery for the same type of fracture. 


This meant it was difficult to apply the same type of repair that we would have put onto a dog or cats broken forelimb.
