When a squirrel breaks a leg. . .

I walking into the Wildlife Medical Clinic Saturday morning to find this:



The squirrel is anesthetised while her bandage is changed.





Here's the broken leg, shaved naked. It has a pin in it to hold the broken bones in place while they heal





Now the wounds around the pin must be cleaned very carefully. . .





and a clean bandage is applied.



What a way to spend Saturday morning!
