Biggles, el potro abandonado, prospera antes de cumplir su primer año

Un potro que fue dejado a morir con menos de un día de vida ha superado los pronósticos y se encuentra prosperando al acercarse a su primer cumpleaños. Biggles fue descubierto en estado crítico en un campo del condado de Durham y rescatado por la organización benéfica Here4Horses. La atención veterinaria intensiva y el cuidado constante de los voluntarios han garantizado su supervivencia.

Biggles fue hallado tendido en un campo en el condado de Durham con el cordón umbilical todavía unido. El propietario de caballos que lo descubrió se puso en contacto con Here4Horses, cuyo equipo describió al potro como gravemente deshidratado, débil e incapaz de ponerse en pie. Fue trasladado de urgencia a la clínica veterinaria Clevedale en Upleatham, cerca de Guisborough, para recibir tratamiento inmediato, que incluyó líquidos intravenosos, antibióticos y alimentación por sonda.
