This did require intervention for correction, but it was so long ago I can't remember what my colleagues did to fix him!

Trichobezoar

I was the only vet with hands small enough to rectal this little Shetland Pony. As a new grad it was a big call to say it was surgical as it was a chronic grumbling colic... but it's caecum was jam-packed full of hair, and he made a great recovery!

Corneal ulcer secondary to facial paralysis

The eye ulcer was obvious, but from head on so was the left sided facial paralysis

Contaminated wound

I'd never seen wound this contaminated, but after a clean up (pics 3 and 4), dressings (pic 5) it improved rapidly and healed up eventually after a few skin grafts.

Paraphimosis

This poor gypsy pony had been found wandering around in a field. We managed to correct the paraphimposis after several days of belly bandaging, sugared lube application and bute. He was passing huge roundworms in the faeces so we wormed him... at which point he acutely colicked and died passing vast quantities of the horrible things.
