Övergivet föl, Biggles, mår bra inför sin ettårsdag

Ett föl som lämnades att dö när det var mindre än ett dygn gammalt har överlevt mot alla odds och mår nu bra när han närmar sig sin första födelsedag. Biggles hittades i ett kritiskt tillstånd på ett fält i County Durham och räddades av välgörenhetsorganisationen Here4Horses. Intensiv veterinärvård och dygnet-runt-tillsyn från volontärer har säkerställt hans överlevnad.

Biggles hittades liggande på ett fält i County Durham med navelsträngen fortfarande kvar. Hästägaren som upptäckte honom kontaktade Here4Horses, vars team beskrev fölet som gravt uttorkat, svagt och oförmöget att stå upp. Han kördes skyndsamt till Clevedale Veterinary Practice i Upleatham nära Guisborough för omedelbar behandling, inklusive intravenös vätska, antibiotika och sondmatning.
