Dr. Matt and his team at Vet Ranch Rescue are certainly no strangers to animal rescue, but their charges are usually of the furry four-legged variety.
Recently, the team saved a kitten who would have likely faced euthanasia if not for the folks at Vet Ranch. In yet another post from their channel, Dr. Matt and his team gave a puppy with demodectic mange the care he needed to be put up for adoption.
But you may call their most recent patient something of a horse of another color.
Indeed, Vet Ranch saw its very first horse on the Ranch. For that, they brought in Dr. Dave to help with the specialty care that Flower, a rescue, needed to recover from malnutrition and ongoing neglect; as the team pointed out, she weighed just 700 pounds when they took her in. Even after they were able to get 300 pounds on her to put her at 1,000, she was still underweight.
Flower had difficulty chewing her food as a result of her bad teeth, which resulted in her choking whenever she tried to get something down. Dr. Dave and crew were able to put some weight on her, fix her teeth, and give her the TLC she needed to start her process of healing.
Her entire procedure, as with all Vet Ranch rescues, was funded on donation. To learn more about Vet Ranch, head over to their website. And please SHARE this video if this animal rescue touched your heart!
