When a prosthetist from Cape Town was asked to 'do' a leg of a lamb, it had nothing to do with food.
When a prosthetist from Cape Town was asked to “do” a leg of a lamb, it had nothing to do with food.
Dolly the lamb was rescued and started living on a Melkbos farm when her front leg got trapped in a snare. She would ultimately lose the leg. “Her leg was amputated after the incident a few years ago. The farm she used to live on asked if we could take her in. She was still taking the bottle. We recently noticed that she was getting bigger and her leg couldn't support her any more. I put up a request on Facebook and a company responded saying they have never done one for an animal,” Basson said.
