At our farm a typical day usually involves helping animals in one way or another. This day was helping Aunt Cynthia with a bum lamb she got from Kent Crane. It was one of three and apparently the mom stepped on this one's leg and broke it. So the first thing anyone does is call, Dr. Quinn. He gets mad when I call him that but it is true. He stitches, bandages, and doctors quite well. As long as he doesn't ask me to be his assistant. I'll admit I'm a touch on the squeamish side. So here is Aunt Cynthia holding the poor little lamb while they create a cast.
We are pretty high tech around here. For a splint Dr. Quinn and his lovely assistant, Uncle Mario are using the dehorners to cut off the end of a plastic covering of a syringe. It's amazing how up we are on the latest technology. (Maybe we are a little on the cheap side)
Mostly I took these pictures so we could remember how we did this.
The Finale!! We will see how well it worked in a couple of weeks.
