American Fondouk

This mule was presented to the American Fondouk hospital with a painful limp from a sharp piece of wood deeply embedded in his heel bulb.

Thanks to safe sedation and a local nerve block, we precisely extracted the wood without him feeling a thing! We flushed the wound and applied a protective bandage.

He felt immediate relief and is already walking much better on his way to a full recovery. Great job to his owners for catching the limp early—prompt action prevents nasty infections!

Drop a ❤️ to wish this tough guy a speedy recovery!

This stallion was presented to the American Fondouk hospital for anorexia, he suddenly stopped eating after being in a grass field next to the old medina where he belongs.

At the admission, our team performed a clinical and a thorough oral examination using a speculum which revealed a large piece of wood stuck between his upper cheek teeth.

The foreign body was removed under standing sedation and his mouth was thoroughly flushed.

The horse felt so much better afterwards- he is now enjoying the amazing spring weather of Fez 💙

Oral foreign body in horses can cause excessive salivation, difficulty eating, swelling of the jaw/mouth and halitosis.

These cases require immediate veterinary attention for safe removal and pain relief, as sharp objects can embed in tissues.
