Sky - Dartmoor Welfare Case

Sky is a wild pony who arrived at SWEP at the beginning of January.  She had a large growth on her ear, which the vets believed was cancerous.  The only way to treat this, and protect Sky from the cancer spreading further, was to remove the top of her left ear.  Sky had an operation under full anaesthetic, which was a success, and in the photo below you can see that her ear is now healing nicely.  Blood tests have showed that Sky is pregnant, so she will not be rehomed for some time now...
