Captain was a Draft horse that was intercepted from auction in the July Buy Out rescue mission and was estimated to be 12-years-old. Our attention quickly focused on Captain as he stepped of the trailer with his right front leg positioned at a weird angle. He immediately became a priority for our veterinarians and was given pain medication and then a sedative (for radiographs). Upon initial palpation of his knee, Dr. Lydia suspected Captain had a fracture. The images revealed that he did indeed have several fractures in his knee (carpus), but one also in his elbow. His knee had essentially become a huge mass of painful bony fragments. Sadly, due to the severity of damage in his leg, there was nothing our medical team could do for him. Therefore, Captain was peacefully given the Last Act of Kindness to relieve his pain and suffering.
