Frostie the Snow Goat
Monday 26 May 2014
He was recently taken in by Edgar’s Mission a farm sanctuary in Willowmavin, Kilmore, in the state of Victoria, Australia.
When young Frostie was taken in he had the worst case of lice that the folks at the farm have ever seen. He was severely dehydrated too. Yet these two conditions could be dealt with quite easily.
Frostie also had something far more serious.
He also had a condition called joint navel ill an incredibly nasty infection which enters the body via the umbilical cord soon after birth.
The bacteria had spread through Frostie and had made its home in the joints of his hind limbs. This meant that the little guy could not work – and his body was full of horrible toxins.
In order to flush them out he was pumped with antibiotics but a way had to be found to help the blood circulate.
As you can see, necessity is the mother of invention and this remarkable wheeled contraption now helps the wheelie kid get about.
He was soon ready for a big adventure!
