Jackson is a lovely 11month old horse.
One of our mixed practice Veterinary Surgeons, Sioned was recently called out as his owner had found Jackson with some wood embedded between his eye and ear. On arrival Sioned sedated him to clip and clean the area and exposed just how large an area was affected.  She incised over the foreign body and removed a 7cm long piece of stick!!  The area was thoroughly flushed with sterile saline and sutured. 
We are pleased to report Jackson has made a fantastic recovery and thank you to his owners for providing the photos of him now he’s back to himself…..unfortunately he does not seem to have learnt his lesson and is still rooting around in places he shouldn’t.
