I wish the super vet could operate on me and sort out even a fifth of the pain.
But like you I do wonder which animals could be treated so aggressively, and whether perhaps a long course of pain killers and cuddles might be better for the older ones.
Clari - maybe some of the work being done on animals now will one day lead to improvements in the treatment of people who sustain injuries like yours ((hugs)) then, as long as the animal's distress is not too much or too prolonged, it will have been worthwhile.
I met up with one of my oldest friends (first boyfriend) at the weekend - he broke his neck on a bouncy castle when in his early 40s. With the aid of a lot of technology he has been able to continue to farm in a small and very different way, from his wheelchair, but is tragically disabled and endures a lot of pain and spasms and other health problems and needs a great deal of care from his wife and carers. If helping animals can lead to helping humans it will be wonderful for those suffering injuries in the future.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The 'Supervet', Noel Fitzpatrick, regularly emphasises the fact that the end result for the animal is by far the most important factor in his decision to operate or not. He has said that there are many operations he could, but won't, do for that very reason.
Ahh Noel is an absolute hero. I think I've seen every episode from every past season. I took my border terrier Barney to 'DogFest' he hosts at Windsor Great Park and Chesham in June, he loved it but was only 10 weeks, safe to say there was a lot of attention. Noel also has a border

One of my old clients uses " the super vet" for her Pyrenean Mountain dogs.
She once had an autopsy performed on one of her chickens. ( not sure which vet ) £400, yup, that's four hundred.
Dovefromabove, you did what you could.

Some of his work does go into human surgery. I know of someone had a bolt put in her spine, or she would have been paralysed.
Read Monty's new book recently - it was Noel FP who sorted Nigel out a couple of years ago when he broke his back leaping in the air.
I like the program and like his work. I'm just not keen on the continual 'staging' and 'acting' that takes place but I guess that's TV.
Chicky, no I haven't read his new book, but I knew about NF fixed Nigel's back.
