Donkey hit by truck on side of road

A man from Erukkalampiddy in Sri Lanka recently informed Bridging Lanka of a donkey accident. The driver of a tipper truck cruising at high speed to deliver its load of road gravel failed to notice the donkey on the side of the road. The result – a broken leg! Back at the clinic, after a jab of anaesthetic, Dr Vincent reset the leg. The long recovery process has started. The donkey is enjoying the hospitality of the ICU facility provided by Otara of Embark. Grooming, nutritious food, water and daily redressing of the wound is the daily regimen.
