Mare rescued by surgeons following trailer mishap
Deborah Steele, a dedicated horse enthusiast, was transporting her Paint mare, Daisy Mae, for a chiropractic appointment when she discovered Daisy Mae was trapped in the trailer's metal bar partition upon arrival. Despite being treated for a severe cut by the on-site vet, it was later revealed that the injury was more extensive than initially thought, requiring expert care. The UC Davis Large Animal Hospital intervened, with the equine emergency team noting significant abdominal wall damage and proceeding with surgical intervention led by Dr. Sandra Valdez and her team. Following a successful procedure, Daisy Mae is on a careful recovery regimen involving medication, limited activity, and gradual reintegration to pasture life. Steele expressed gratitude for the exceptional care provided by the UC Davis team, noting Daisy Mae's steady progress and improved condition with each passing day.
