After the operation the horse's feet are once again
attached to the crane.
The horse is then lifted up again on the crane to be
transferred to the recovery room.
|
 |
Notice how the doctor has to hold the horse's head
up as the horse is transferred into the recovery room.
|
 |
The horse is placed on a soft pad and the feet are
released from the crane.
|
 |
The horse is then allowed to sleep until the
anesthetic drugs wear off. A towel is placed over the eyes to
protect them.
The horse breathes through a tube that is left in the
mouth until the horse wakes up.
They usually sleep about 45 minutes
and then are up on their feet again! |
