A sick mule finds some people who care

Recently a very sick mule came to our clinic that needed some on-going treatment and care. Our clinic does not have a stable or yard to keep large animals but fortunately our building doorman and garage owner allowed the mule to stay for a few hours in the garage basement while it was given treatment and monitored. After a few hours the mules condition improved and the mule was able to go back to work. In this country equines are used solely for the purpose of work so in this case and most others, animals have very little time to rest and recover from illness and injury. At least our clinic was able to offer some respite and give this animal the medicine it needed which otherwise would have gone untreated.
