Abandoned foal Biggles thrives ahead of first birthday

Kiswahili

A foal left to die when less than a day old has beaten the odds and is thriving as he nears his first birthday. Biggles was discovered in a critical state in a County Durham field and rescued by the Here4Horses charity. Intensive veterinary care and round-the-clock attention from volunteers have ensured his survival.

Biggles was found lying in a field in County Durham with his umbilical cord still attached. The horse owner who discovered him contacted Here4Horses, whose team described the foal as severely dehydrated, weak and unable to stand. He was rushed to Clevedale Veterinary Practice in Upleatham near Guisborough for immediate treatment including intravenous fluids, antibiotics and tube feeding.
