Another Swan Rescue

ByJon

Another day, another swan. Fortunately after a kind donation a few years ago we were able to purchase an infusion pump which we have used to give fluids to cats, ducks, swans, piglets and foxes. It’s been an invaluable piece of kit for lots of animals and this swan is now hopefully going to feel a lot better by tomorrow. He’s had an X-ray and blood tests today and was originally handed into Vets4Pets Kirkby in Ashfield after crash landing in a built up area. The practise bought him to us for his rehab and further investigations.
