Charities swoop in with life-saving sarcoid surgery on donkey

Share The location of Skye’s sarcoid meant that it had to be removed via laser while he was standing. © The Donkey Sanctuary A donkey suffering from a form of cancer has received life-saving surgery, thanks to two international animal welfare charities. Eight-year-old Skye, who was living on the grounds of a distillery in Fort William, Lochabar, in the Scottish Highlands, had a large growth on his chest that needed urgent veterinary attention. Skye and a pony he lived with were bring looked after by a local groom and volunteers, after their owner could no longer care for them. An independent vet examined the large growth on Skye’s chest, and diagnosed it as a sarcoid, a kind of skin cancer. The vet confirmed Skye would need specialist surgery and dedicated aftercare because of the severity of the sarcoid. It was suggested that the only option could be to put Skye to sleep.
