This could be the country’s fist sheep to get a prosthetic leg.
Cape Town - what could be the country’s first, a rescued sheep, at an animal shelter in Melkbosstrand, got fitted a prosthetic leg on Friday.
“I went up there for a weekend and they asked me if I would like to take her and keep her on our rescue farm,” said Gayl Basson, co-founder of Fallen Angels Pet Rescue. After returning with Dolly, Basson put up a post on their Facebook page asking their more than 54 000 followers if anybody can assist them in getting the sheep to walk properly again.
It was also Basson's first experience of getting involved in such a project for the animals she rescued.“Over the years, we have had quite a few amputations and we never thought of getting prosthetic legs, as the dogs seem to do so well. But with the sheep, she is such a heavy girl. We saw she was struggling and decided to try this,” said Basson.
