"She's a goner": a veterinarian told the story of a horse without a hoof

      Newsler.ru has obtained information from a veterinarian familiar with the condition of the horse found in the Zhemchuzhny neighborhood. According to him, the animal is completely missing the hoof on one of its legs, and the stump looks as if the injury was sustained long ago and never treated.

      "This is not a matter of weeks. This condition is the result of a long absence of care. Simply put — she’s not going to make it," the specialist said.

      According to the veterinarian, a horse should normally bear its weight fully on the hoof, but when it is lost the animal experiences constant pain. Improper loading leads to complications — inflammation, emaciation, and joint disorders. Judging by its condition, this horse has long gone without either veterinary care or a proper diet.

      "Such an injury cannot be treated on a private homestead. A specialized clinic and an expensive prosthesis are needed here. Without that she is doomed," the source explained.

      He added that because of chronic pain and emaciation the horse hardly moved on its own.

      The animal is currently with its owner "being fattened for slaughter," the specialist asserts.

      Earlier Newsler.ru reported that an emaciated horse without a hoof was found in the Zhemchuzhny neighborhood. Residents noticed the animal, after which the local administration and employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM) organized its evacuation to a shelter. More details are here.
