MEDICAL THREE CLICK TO ENLARGE PICS

WELL HERE IS ONE FOR YOU A BROKEN LEG. GOT MY RED TAIL A WEEK AGO AND HE WAS WORKING GREAT. MANNING HIM UP EVERY NIGHT AND EATING OF FIST. I WAS VERY HAPPY THE WAY HE WAS COMING ON AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THREE WEEKS I SHOULD BE OUT HUNTING WITH HIM. SO LAST NIGHT FRIDAY 20.02.03 WENT OUT TO CHECK THEM OUT AND FEED, I NOTICED HE WAS NOT STANDING ON HIS LEG AND IT SEEMED TO BE HANGING SLIGHTLY. I CHECKED THEM BEFORE I WENT TO WORK THAT MORNING AND THE KIDS AND WIFE USUALLY LOOK IN ON THEM DURING THE DAY AND EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. SO TO MY SURPRISE WHEN I WENT DOWN TO FEED THE HARRIS AND GET THE RED TAIL OUT FOR A BIT I NOTICED THIS. I PICKED HIM UP BUT HE WAS STRUGGLING TO STAND ON THIS LEG. SO PHONED THE VET RIGHT AWAY AND TOOK HIM UP. LEG WAS BROKEN, SO HE STAYED OVER NIGHT AND GOT PINNED UP AS YOU CAN SEE ON ABOVE PICS. NOW I THOUGHT I HAD EVERY ANGLE COVERED I HAD A SHORT LEASH MOVED SLOW AROUND HIM LET HIM SEE EVERYTHING GOING ON ETC ETC, I WAS SURE EVERYTHING WAS COMING ON GREAT AS HE BAITED LESS AND LESS, BUT ALL I CAN SAY THERE WAS ONE BATE TO MANY AT SOME POINT AND IT SNAPPED HIS LEGS. NOW TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA AS I JUST HAD HIM FOR A WEEK I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO INSURE HIM YET, SO IN 2003 IT JUST COST ME £200 FOR FIRST TREATMENT PLUS PROBERLY A LITTLE MORE TO COME, FIRST CHANCE HE WILL BE GETTING INSURANCE. ANOTHER THING I FOUND OUT THAT IT HAD HAD A BROKEN LEG BEFORE ON THE SAME LEG ABOUT AN INCH ABOVE THE ONE HE HAD JUST DONE AMAZING WHAT XRAYS SHOW.
