I'm 67 now but in my younger years I was a surgical Veterinarian Technician. I LOVE watching these surgeries! DR Gina and Dr Lydia are amazing. The vet techs assisting are well trained also. I can remember my nose itching and not being able to move as I was clamping an artery. My muscles aching as I held a horses face still. Thank you, Horse Plus Vets for this!! 🐎🤍🐎
Kudos to both of the vets! But I want to especially note the job the assistant did. You were so strong! I could see how some some of it was hard to see up close, but you did well. All should be praised for the job you did. Today, you were the angels this horse needed in his life.
As an O.R. Nurse for 36 years,(now retired), I really enjoy watching these videos. It's interesting to see how differently surgeries are done on animals. Thank you for the great work you all do!
Such a beautiful boy, I'm so happy to know he will have relief at last, and hopefully a loving and mindful forever home soon. Thank you for bringing us in to watch his procedures. Terrific work, vet crew!
The pain that poor horse has gone through with his eyes would have been terrible, especially in both eyes. I suffer from Uvites in one eye myself so my heart realky goes out to this poor horse, thank you so much for making him comfortable again 🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴
Fantastic work ladies, very interesting video, it’s a nice to know that he’s not going to be in any pain from his eyes, there is a woman who rides her horse that has no eyes it’s amazing, just goes to show that a blind horse can live a happy healthy life, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
I've never watched this sort of thing before, and though I was a bit squeamish, it was really interesting. I really appreciate the expertise and care that Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina share with their patients and the Horse Plus staff is remarkable and calm during the procedure. Thank you for making this available to lay people like me. I will never have to do these things to my horse (she is retired and boards 50 miles away) but everything that I can learn helps me to understand horses better. So, thank you, thank you!
Hard to watch ( tears for this poor soul) but good to watch such an amazing team get this fella pain free 🤞, what on earth this guy has been through, treated so badly bless him, I just don’t understand people who let this happen! In the right safe hands now and healing, darling boy, sending love to him and to all of you wonderful saviours 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🩵💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
What a fantastic job you all performed. For sure he'll feel so much relief. Thank you for helping him. Cheers from Silvana from South America Uruguay 🇺🇾
Oh my goodness..poor Jay..not only did he have painful eyes which gave him a permanent headache he had a ginormous abcess on his nose which filled so much of his face cavity..dear lord how did he stand that pain..no wonder he had been ansty when anyone got near his face..when Dr Lydia was shaving for the eyeband this massive abcess exploded😢😢.. all those scars on his face and all over his body..this boy has been through the wringer..can you imagine being bounced around multiple auctions being in this state..and him not being able to see anything..my heart breaks 💔 😔 for him..l hope they keep us updated on this very special boy..and l hope to see him much happier in the future..Dr Lydia ypu ROCK..that was so hard as his eye had shrunken and you explained everything as you went and showing Caitlyn what you were doing then you showed her how the eye is by cutting it and letting her learn..you are an amazing teacher..! Thank you ladies..and Kory for this enlightening video..🇬🇧💕✝️🙏👏👍🐎😷🇺🇸
This was fascinating to watch. I'm so glad they were able to do both eyes at the same time. Jay will be feeling so much better now. I'm looking forward to an update on his recovery.
I love the way a good enucleation looks when it's entirely healed. Jay will feel SO much better now, and I'm glad that abcess got poked, his face was so puffy. Now he can heal and be beautiful again! ❤
Poor boy, to think what he has suffered. I hope he starts to feel so much better and pain-free. And hopefully, it won't be too long before you find him a buddy.
❤❤loved seeing the whole surgery! Both eyes. That was a huge learning experience for me. Thank you to the HP Vets and team. Jay will be so much more comfortable now. Bless his healing process ❤❤
Thank you doctors Lydia and Gina- what a team- and Catelyn- good job all! - made me cry to think the pain of the infection in his face, and people who sent him into the pipeline untreated, painful and running blind into strange places for further injury. He may learn to let folks touch his face after the infection is gone. He is worth all the hours, work and retraining to teach him with love after a life of suffering. Awesome view of what real rescue means...
I agree I wish they would post post surgery and even recovery updates here. They would only need to be short daily updates for the good and the bad. Recovery is always half the journey medically.
WIth all that pain on his face no wonder he was dropping feed! Poor Jay, fantastic job Drs Lydia and Gina and Kaitlyn! Aint gonna lie, I was squinting a little during part of this but Thank You all SO much for this channel!
Dr's you are... Amazing 🤩. Wonderful job 👌. The pus part was hard to watch as well as the blood...I don't have a strong stomach, but it's so cool to watch these surgeries and I love the explanations of the procedures.
This was really interesting. I had to remind myself a few times that there was no chance he'd ever be able to see and those were causing him pain and had to come out. Finding the abscess was a bonus because I'm sure that wasn't comfortable either. I hope he heals up with no issues.
I am so glad you are there for the animals...in a perfect world you wouldn't be needed for these dire emergencies...however there is no shortage of cruelty to animals, so you amazing people step right in to help these unfortunate animals!! Thank you ❤❤
Oh my lands!!! Poor sweetheart!! I had to fast forward through some of the surgery because it made me a little nervous, but oh my gosh y’all are such great vets!!!❤😊❤😊❤. He will feel so much better!! ❤❤
Would there be a way to use something like a hammock with girths or something under the horse in the surgical stand? Just to make sure the horse doesn't go down?
How will he get around now? Will he stay in a stall? Will he be able to go out in a pasture with other horses? Poor fella I love Horses my sister owns 2 and use to ride all of the time until my 50th birthday and got thrown off. Broke my left femur bone. Still love them!
