hundred girl yeah come on freddy this is all about you mate the real danger in freddie's case is that his intestines can pop through that hole and then their blood supply is affected and literally dye can walk out into the field one morning and find freddie dead so it's crucial that we perform this surgery today good misty good boy freddy good lad misty's there so it's comfort for him once he's under anesthetic he won't know what's going on but all the time mum's there if you take misty out well then he can get upset come on freddy good boy they're like children to us you know what can happen or can't happen you hope for the best obviously but there's always that element of doubt in the barn philipp and kim are preparing the makeshift operating theatre okay i think we've got everything else here so yeah basically we're good to go and it's not exactly what scott's used to come on freddy uh guys i've got your patient i walk around the corner into the barn and uh it's a little rustic i can't see any shiny lights i can't see any steel um it is a shed full of hay and we need to do surgery in it different so philip i was going to have a quick feel before that's right yeah because it's quite nice to know now exactly what we're dealing with and how big the the actual opening into the abdomen is so i can get two fingers into the hole okay definitely bigger than the hernias that we feel on little dogs and cats back oh yes i'm sure yeah that's right scott can extrapolate what we're doing back to his own animals in his own surgery in london and actual techniques are the same it's just the scale that changes wow it's like a javelin bigger than what you're used to scott's first task is to place the large ivy catheter into freddy's neck in preparation for the anaesthetic just hope i get in the right place but finding a vein on a flighty foal is never easy no trying to place an iv catheter into a horse a massive different world where's your blood vessel gone man we did our absolute best to get it in as calmly and as safely as possible this is a young horse and horses can sometimes react erratically and vets can get injured as a result yeah that's ben good job and that's that's the easy bit yeah right so i'm just going to inject the catamaran into his vein okay we'll see on the other side but right now their greatest concern is making sure freddie doesn't injure himself when he falls so it's really important that we're in a safe place they're so heavy and they if they go down in the wrong way they can catch you out and um you just need to have your wits about you really okay good come to you with scotland yep oh that's a good board what a good boy you're right there buddy i'm stuck in this room right once the laughs are over
