Flu

FINALLY!!!we have a partially working internet connection and the computer is (occasionally) behaving so here is an update...
The influenza outbreak means we are being kept busy with a steady stream of cases, below is a picture of one little donkey that came in to us very sick, as the owner had left him in the field for a few days before bringing him in to us. Sadly, despite our efforts he was sadly put to sleep later in the night. If only he'd have come to see us sooner.

This poor dog came in a few days ago with a horrible wound to his throat - sadly the cause of the injury is the owner levaing him tied up for too long and too tightly!!!When will these injuries of ignorance be a thing of the past!!!????

And to top it all off the owner has not returned with the dog for any follow up treatment!!!Grrrrrrrr!!!

Apologies

We are very sorry for the lack of updates on the blog currently but we are experiencing problems with our internet connection and the computer. Luckily today I can write on the blog but it still wont let me upload any pictures, so pictures will follow ASAP!
We currently have another burns patient - this time a beautiful black stallion. Sadly he was the only one out of the whole stable yard that could get away - as he knew how to jump out. He has severe burns all over his body. Currently he is comfortable but the next 5-7days will be critical for him.
There is also another influenza outbreak here in Luxor. Luckily we are not seeing half as many as we did last year but on average we are seeing about 20 cases a day.
As i said, pictures will follow ASAP so thats all for now!

Mule Recovery

THIS MULE CAME TO US IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER WITH EXTENSIVE BURNS FROM AN ACCIDENTAL STABLE FIRE. HE HAS MADE A GREAT RECOVERY AND HAS NOW GONE HOME. HIS OWNER WAS VERY PLEASED TO GET HIM BACK SO LETS HOPE THAT THEY HAVE NO MORE BAD LUCK......

X-RAY

We just wanted to show you how wonderfull it is to be able to now take an x-ray get it developed on site and diagnose the problem very quickly.
We would like to thank all our supporters for making this possible.

Harry is a cat!

Well he thinks he is a cat! His surrogate mum was unwell for a while and could not feed him so he decided to go back with his cat friends to see what he could get..... Mum is all better now and Harry is torn between the two....

Also picture of Katie Flint from the IEBWA which is the International Equine Body Workers Association, Katie has been volunteering at ACE helping our inpatients feel soooo much better. We would like to thank the IEBWA for their help and support of ACE.
