Trying to Help Liam

Diagnosing Liam

It is impressive to see a gifted large animal vet at work. Dr. Jason Weinstein got to the farm right after noon, large animal vets have few diagnostic tools in the barnyard, they have to use their eyes, ears, training and instincts to diagnose animals who are sick or unwell. He noticed Liam’s rapid breathing, some bloodshot coloring in his eyes and a concave inversion on the left side. This are all consistent with a large bite or a stomp. He said Liam was in great pain, we’re still working on it.

I spent over an hour trying to find a large animal vet who could come to the farm, and we’ve seen Jason before, he is as good as any vet I’ve met I was relieved to see him come into the driveway. More checking to do. Might be broken rib.
