Do you believe that as long as a horse's leg is injured, it must choose euthanasia?
The horse’s leg is injured, can’t it be cured? If you are not terminally ill, is it necessary to choose euthanasia? There are so many animals in nature, and the stray cats and dogs outside are not very active if they have one missing leg. It’s just that it’s a little difficult to walk. Even an animal as large as an elephant can survive without one leg.
However, horses are different from these animals. As long as their legs are injured or they lose a leg, they will be euthanized by their owners. Even if it is a priceless horse, as long as the leg is injured, the final result will most likely be euthanasia.
Horses have a large body, but their legs are very thin and their bones are very light. There are 205 bones in the body, 80 bones in the legs, and no muscles below the knees. Horses have evolved so far that they stand even when sleeping. When standing, their muscles will relax, but they will remain alert at all times. As long as they are aggressive, they will run away immediately.
Their horseshoes are equivalent to the tips of human fingers and toes, and running is almost like dancing ballet .
As long as a horse's leg is injured, the infection will quickly spread from the injured part to both sides, and lesions will easily occur. The bigger the horse, the more difficult it is to treat.
The leg is injured. If the horse lies down for a long time, it will cause various harms to it:
The lack of blood circulation will have an impact on the horse's body and lead to ischemic injury.
affects the expansion of the thorax, causing the horse's lung ventilation to be inhibited, which can easily cause pneumonia.
can easily damage the horse's vision, turning it into glaucoma until it cannot see.
causes a backlog of internal organs and makes the heart susceptible to disease.
If the horse's leg is injured and euthanasia is not performed, the infection will become more and more serious in the later period, and it will be difficult and expensive to install a prosthetic limb for rehabilitation, and the horse will suffer even more.
Instead of doing this, it is better to let it be euthanized to reduce the pain caused to the horse's body and make it walk more peacefully.
